GYGIG and Caroline updates
Thank you so much for your generosity. As of this week, our current total for the Get Your Guts in Gear fundraiser is $908!
Friday night is our next drawing for a skein of the special Charlie's Yarn hand dyed by Lavender Sheep. If you'd like to be included, please click on the blue and white donation button on the left hand side of the blog page for further details. Or, if you'd like to donate by purchasing some of the Charlie's Yarn directly, you can click here. If you're wondering who Charlie is, or what our fundraiser is about, please click here.
The Cat's Paw scarf that I am making with my Charlie's Yarn has been slow going, because I'm changing around the stitch pattern a little bit. Since I don't have much of that project to share yet, here is an update on the Caroline sweater:
These are the left and right fronts, and I am almost up to the decreases for the arms. Can't wait to finish this and move on to my next project!

Payday is tomorrow, so I can finally make my donation - it's great that you are raising such an amazing amount of $$.
I'm sure Charlie is purring in heaven ... :-)

The shrug is on my list as well -- out of some pretty yarn Rudi brought back for me from one of his ski trips to Colorado.

The shrug for your next project is cute! I hope the Spider Chrysanthemum works out. I really like it.

Looks great - and I love that shrug you have your eye on next!! Can't wait to see your scarf too - you can show it even if it's only an inch. We're not picky!!

Great job on what you've raised so far!
I like that stitch pattern!

OK, me again. I just donated, and though it's not as much as I wish I could donate, I know from doing fundraising walks/etc., that every little bit does count.
I hope your husband has a really successful ride!

Pretty Caroline sweater! The shrug looks like a great project too. I'm using Dream in Color Smooshy at the moment. Good stuff!
