Nautie from knitty.com
ok, i am addicted to all things related to marine biology, so when i saw the "Nautie" stuffed nautiloid, i knew it was for me. Since a few of the kids are working on it as well, I felt motivated to do one too. Here is my progress so far. I am almost finished with the shell. I love it!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Knitzilla and Knitter's Studio for the big bag of various yarns. The kids went crazy for the ribbon yarn.

Thanks to Suss Designs for their donation of a gazillion pairs of size#11 bamboo needles. The advanced knitters are working on purses and these big needles will come in handy for those who are felting with big yarn!

The next thank you goes out to The Little Knittery for a big bag of wool. Along with the #11 Suss needles, we can felt this into some purses. Thanks, Julie!

There are also some blanket squares that still need to be sewn together. I am going to offer some community service to a the kids to sew them into a few baby blankets. We'll see what happens with that.

Easter Hits Pali!!!!!!
Spring Break is right around the corner, and we are so ready for a week off. This week the kids have been working on their baby hats for Stitches From the Heart. They are coming along nicely. The hats are due in 2 weeks, and I'll post pics when they are all turned in. The advanced kids are being more daring. Some are designing their own creations, others are tackling challenging patterns. I am really excited to see their results in a few weeks.
