The Mother of Invention

Here it is, 2018 already. Usually, at this time of year we do the bulk of the knitting for the end of the year. Unfortunately, we do not have the huge supply of yarn we usually do. This is due to a shortage of funds to purchase the yarn. One bonus is that we have a surplus of completed scarves left over from last year's project, slightly over 100 scarves. And we do have "some" yarn, so all is not lost yet.

We'll just have to go slowly this month, and perhaps next month. Hopefully, the funding crisis will be resolved by the end of February.

We have a new item that we intend to mass produce for this year's project. It's a scarf, but instead of making it full length with a fringe, it runs about 35 inches and the ends are sewn together. You just pull it over your head and it sits snugly to keep your neck warm. They're easier to make and and they don't use as much yarn. You know what they say about necessity.
