First up a recap of the 2016 Charity Challenge.
Last year the goal was 12 items for charity, I figured then at least once a month I could sit down with my knitting needles and reflect on all my blessings while helping out individuals during a time in their lives when they are forced to deal with difficult situations.
I surpassed that goal in 2016 supporting both Knittedknockers and a last minute call for hats for Christmas Care packages for a local shelter.
2016 Stash Busting
If only so many pretty things did not follow me home, I would have met my stash busting goal (Rhichard Devrieze, Zen Garden, Brian the Sheep from Niagara-on-the-Lake and all you fluffy Alpaca's across Ontario), you know who you are and what you did to undermine my goal......how can I every forgive you! oh look, pretty yarn....you are forgiven
As you can see I am no where near the 50% mark, so I will let this goal ride for 2017
2017 Charity Challenge
A group of knitters at my LYS, www.spunfibrearts.com have come together with the promise to delivery 200 hats to the care packages in 2017 (delivery date for November). Needles are already flying and I believe the group count is up to 22 hats right now. I had doubled my goal to 24 charity items for this year, but I might have to revisit/increase that in June.
What are your goals, share if you wish, I would love to hear them.
All for now - we will see next month how the goal of regular blog postings go!
