Second Haul

This impressive haul is from Raija in New Jersey! 25, fabulous hats! All with beautiful little additions on the sides, and laminated labels with a beautiful message. Apparently, Raija really liked that second pattern. Here is an example of an individual of the hats Raija knitted. Thank you Raija for your stellar work and for making so many lovely hats.

Cary's stash arrived as well. You've seen some of her posts and here is the group shot of all the pieces. Stevie, despite having a wedding (her own) this summer, managed to knit these two for us! Thank you Stevie - for also getting the right link on Ravelry!

Lisa Kugel sent in this gorgeous crocheted scarf from the yarn exchange. Thank again to Lisa for designing this wonderful pattern!
And finally for this post, Anna sent in these four beauties! Check out the color change action for the second hat pattern!
Thanks to everyone who's sent things in so far... I know there are more out there! Can't wait to see your work!

And things are rolling in....

With our deadline looming this Thursday (September 15th), the donations are starting to come in. But before I get to donations already received - we just need to do some Pinkknit-a-thon business. Please try to post things as close to the 15th as possible. If you need the weekend to finish things up - that's fine. We'd like to give the donations to the Komen Foundation the first week of October.

And now without further ado....

These first two donations from Jennifer and Wendy are the Just Enough Ruffles scarf, available on Ravelry. This scarf pattern is gorgeous! Very flattering so if you need something to knit as you are having withdrawals from Pinkknit-a-thon, try this one out!
Jennifer and Wendy also made some fabulous fingerless gloves! Hmmm... ideas for next year?

Caitlin did not have time to do the lace scarf for the exchange. She took her yarn allotment, added things from her own stash and sent in this beautiful stripy scarf.

Jess, intrepid student, made this gorgeous little number:
And finally, for this post, Carol sent five hats. Two of the turquoise:
One of the purple:
and two of these green/blue beauties.
Carol sent a note - I hope she doesn't mind my transcribing it here:

Dear Pinkknit-a-thonners -
I'm so glad I found out about your site from the Lancaster Yarn Shop. My mom is in treatment for ovarian cancer and so I decided to knit some hats for her. Then I found out about your project and knitted the yarn I had left over for additional hats.
The phrase* I put on the tags is one my mom found and taped to her kitchen cupboard. She's so optimistic and helps us to have hope. So far, all her results have been good and the chemotherapy is working. She still has 6 months of chemotherapy.
* "In facing the unknown, hope is as reasonable as despair." (Guideposts)

AND! thanks to Carol for remembering the tags! Yikes! I completely forgot. So if you haven't already sent your donations, please take a moment to add the kind of yarn you used (wool, silk, cotton, acrylic), washing instructions, and anything else. Thanks!
