I collect Cows, so I thought I would post the picture of it on this post. I love knitting, most yarn comes from sheep or is man made. However, sheep don't seem to be as cute to me. However the below I found on a knitting blog & decided to borrow the concept, not the answers. The answers below are mine. If you want to see the original author's answers you can go to her site noted below. Enjoy & answer them yourself on your blog. Let people see a little more about you, maybe even laugh at yourself some by your own answers.

Faith, Hope, Charity, & Yarn Snippets

Knitting

I am going to start knitting a dishcloth KAL tomorrow. I will post a picture when I finish. I will also post a picture of the scarves I have knitted for my missionary friend in Europe. She uses them to give to her students as she teaches them English using the Bible. She has done this for 10 years or longer. I have knitted her heavy ones, light ones along with some my cousin-in-law has knitted & gave to send to her. Her mother is leaving in July & has offered to take them to her, so I can save money from not having to mail them myself. People are so generous in my life. I am so thankful for the help I have gotten in my knitting charity, along with a new charity I joined myself. It is called Bluebonnet Babies. I am excited about being a part of this group. I am hoping I can knit up to their ability. I do enjoy kitting & will hopefully be able to knit simple baby blankets for the preemies they give to. I don't know how to knit clothing yet, but I do believe that I can knit a hat for preemies if I try.

I hope all of you that love to knit, especially for those who love to knit for charities will look this charity knitting group & consider joining in their cause. It a group from Texas, so those in Texas would be a great help to this group. I am going to do my best to join up in the cause. God's Blessings

One Hour Baby Hat

I have been surfing lately and have found a neat site. It had a One Hour Baby Hat knit pattern on it, free. It is a fun hat I think. On this site, the individual has a seperate site where they sell their own hand dyed wool. From what I have seen so far, the hand dyed wool is beautiful. I am going to look at their site where I can view more of the hand dyed wool. I will put a picture of the One Hour Baby Hat found at http://www.calanacrafts.blogspot.com/. Also, even though they are found in Scotland, here is the site for their hand dyed wool http://www.calanacrafts.co.uk/ . Have a look at this blogspot. It is interesting. Here is a picture of the hat they created.

I really liked the hat on the bear. I looks really good. I am glad I found this blogspot. Go by and visit their sites. You might even want to order some of their hand dyed yarn. God's Blessings Jil
