A celebration of a completed work! I'm sure there's some kind of therapy going on as I use assorted inherited needles to knit vintage patterns from the stash inherited from my mother and including some with grandmother's name on them. I did choose to use new machine washable wool though, from Tapestry Craft. I couldn't find suitable buttons in my enormous button jar, so yesterday wandered along to All Buttons Great and Small and found the sweet little flowers.
Now getting on to sewing up calico bags for youth group tonight. They are going to decorate (fabric paint, applique etc) and auction them to raise money for a microcredit project in West Timor. Inspired and backed up by the authoritative evidence base of Numb3rs that microcredit has a 97% success rate. This episode was also mentioned on In Good Faith but unfortunately the link to the episode didn't work for me. May 11 2007 if you want the details.

Very sweet project. Who is it for?
My son's friend and his partner have just had their second child - a little girl. She is growing so fast it may be too small - but it is stretchy!
Ah, very sweet. When I knit for babies, I almost always do a 12-month size to make sure they'll be able to wear it for a while.
Knitting for little ones is so fun.
I love those pinks and greens, wish I could knit!
I am so grateful to my family for passing on this skill. And the wool available now is gorgeous! I loved the colours too.
