Fundraising for Team in Training

So I'm really excited about this! My brother has been a part of Team in Training (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's endurace sports training program) for a few years now. He is now in his first year as a mentor, and we are all so happy and proud of him! :) He came to me this morning and asked me to help him out with an upcoming fundraising event (Silent Auction) that he is participating in. I'm really excited to be able to help him and be a part of this!!

I have exactly one day shy of two weeks to get things done, and I'm going to make as much as I can in that time frame. I'm going to start with my favorite baby booties and matching hat I made a month or so ago. I also have a really pretty/fun shawl pattern that was recommend to me that I may try. What else would be something fun to get?!

Well, I better get started ;) I will update as I go along!!

Stained Shawl

I am very excited about this one! It is my first large item I have made myself.  Its not perfect, but its imperfections add to its beauty. It reminds me of stained glass, and I LOVE it!

It took me about a month and a half to make - a few re-starts, a few weeks off to make Ella's shawl, lots of questions, and lots of trial and error moments and I have finally finished it! The yarn was gifted to me from an online friend who hand dyed the yarn into the beautiful color it is now, isn't it gorgeous?!
