Okay... as I type this, the pictures are side by side. When I post they come out one above the other. LOL
Interesting.
I have completed FIVE sets for the Mitten Tree Project. The picture on the right shows a complete set. I purchased the hat and gloves so all I had to do was crochet the scarf. I used a simple single crochet rib stitch (only crocheting on the front loop) and added the fringe.
I have 11 or 12 sets of hat/ gloves to work with. I need to count the number of orange gloves I have. I decided since we live in 'hunting' country, I'm going to get safety orange hats to match those gloves. The color will be a slight variation but the safety orange hats are required when hunting and many kids do youth hunt in the fall.
I still need to print the bag tags for these and find a 'holding' bag. I'd like to find a red collapseable laundry basket. I stamp the front of the tag with a snowman and 'Warm Winter Wishes' then 1 hat/ 1 scarf/ 1 pair of gloves is printed on the back.
I'll finish the 3 remaining black sets then move on to a new color.
Warm Winter Wishes!
What a great project! I like the white stripes in your pretty pink scarf.
ReplyDeletethanks Nancy. The hat had the white band so wanted to accent the scarf to match. On the all-black sets, I'm adding either red/ teal or lavender to those scarves. Just a pop of color in a very dark world hehe
Deletewow! ambitious. im sure they will be well loved by the recipients
ReplyDeletewe really do live in a poverty area. Even the mitten tree does not get very many donations because people just don't have it to give.
DeleteOh, these are so precious. You are such a good person to take on this project.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maggie. Crocheting is something I enjoy and can still do while watching TV. I don't always need my glasses as crocheting for me is done more by feel once I get the pattern going.
