Ready for a quiet week now...

Well, we had a great time over the two days of the 15th and 16th, altho' sitting in a chair knitting for several hours each day was surprisingly exhausting! Thank you to all those people who took part, all who brought along 'one (or more) they'd made earlier' and those who took yarn home with them on Saturday with the intention of finishing something to drop into the shop sometime this week, not forgetting those who donated wool, drinks and biscuits. Phew.

Because items are still dribbling in I can't be sure of the final tally, but so far there are 48 hats in various styles and sizes, about 15 little cardigans, 6 or 7 sets of mittens and bootees, and finally 2 blankets. (I'm halfway through a third one myself so will have to get a shift on to finish that this week.)

Not sure when or how the handover will take place - low key or fanfare? Can't decide...

In the meantime tho' I think we've decided that the knitathon should be an annual event. Mark it in your diaries for next October! Here are just a few of this year's goodies...
