See that snow? Feel that wind? That's winter around these parts. Mind you, it hasn't been this wintry since White Juan back in 2004. Our hearts go out to the unhoused.

Our project continues. We are all knitting the usual items we do. I (Bernie) have 30 junior scarves and 10 adult scarves done, and I've started work on a blanket with Nancy. Nancy herself has 17 adult scarves finished. She has set herself a goal of 50 scarves as have I. All the other girls are hard at work.

I was having a conversation with one of our knitters about the lack of funding we have to purchase not only yarn, but the many other items necessary to successfully complete our project. At our last board meeting, this was  talked about and our plan is to conduct a few fundraisers to help with that. The first is already underway.

It is a 50/50 money board. 100 numbered squares. $10 a square. We take half, the winner gets the other half. We're hoping to sell all the squares. You can email us with a request for numbers. If they are available, you can then etransfer us the money. that email address is lasthouseontheblock@outlook.com,

Now, if you are not into that sort of thing but you'd still like to help...
