Let me finish the current project and then see what I think I can finish before August.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You!!!!!!!!

You are so awesome on many levels.
Today you are awesome because you are willing to help :)

Um, what sort of project are we talking?

songtyger July 11 2009, 19:19:00 UTC

I probably can't do anything big enough to be it's own separate auction item. More like augmenting something else so... wine glass charms? baby sweaters? pocketbook?
what do you think?

muffyjo July 11 2009, 20:28:38 UTC

I can make some potholders. Square or puppet (square are easier, puppet might sell better). They can certainly go to augment something (maybe a cookies-in-a-jar mix?)

Would any of your audience be people who would travel to Somerville to see theatre?

That would be awesome to have some potholders. In past years we have totally had cooking gear packages so I'm sure we could find a great way to incorporate them. Two out of two people in my conversation as I type this say square for practicality. Maybe farmy theme fabric? or maybe in a design that looks like food (like a fried egg on a square plate or who knows what)?

I don't think the Somerville tix would be enough of a draw but the thought is very much appreciated!

Thank you so very very much for offering to help!

oooooor, perhaps I was a bit hasty and tickets would be very much appreciated! :)

I know we have some newish grandmas who will be in attendance so baby sweater notions are very good ones. You might think about touching base with Deb as she was perusing patterns for baby/toddler knitted animal themed hats when I left her this evening ... maybe toether y'all could make a package

songtyger July 12 2009, 12:32:48 UTC

Sounds good. I'm lacking her contact info. Please to pass on my email address to her?

songtyger July 12 2009, 12:37:07 UTC

You might want to ask kaytebell, too. She doesn't always keep up with LJ/FB, so she may not see the post.

Hi songtyger,

FYI I've already started a baby sweater and a hat. Don't know if that narrows it down for you!

What color? You knit, right? I can do a sweater and maybe a few bibs in crochet and that would make a nice package.

Here's the sweater pattern

http://www.plymouthyarn.com/index.php?nav=cYarn.yarnDetail&yarnid=001014&searchcollection=000016&pattern_id=002035#pattern-tab

and the color is closer to #2 on this page

bibs would be adorable! I could also make a few knit washcloths.

Awesome!!

This is the bib pattern:

I haven't done it before, but it should work up quickly.
This is the sweater, though it's a pretty bad photo and I'll be making it in a different yarn:

I have some lemon yellow baby yarn I'll do one of the bibs in. I'll pick up sweater yarn and more bib colors this week.
