Loads of cool stuff this week! This one is mostly about my Icelandic Odyssey, and all the amazing things we saw while visiting our friends Thoranna and Karl. WE SAW THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!
I knitted a lot of really interesting things while I was away, and you get to have the first glimpses of the Cuff Muffs(!), and an elephant's phallus. (NOT knitted: real!)
Also introducing the U-Knit-Y patterns, designed by Smine, to raise money for two New-Zealand-based HIV charities. $5.00 NZ from each pattern sold is being very kindly donated by Smine herself, so please do check out the beautiful hat, cowl and scarf patterns, which can be bought individually, or as a bundle from:
ravelry.com/designers/handmade-by-smine
etsy.com/uk/shop/HandmadeBySmine
lovecrafts.com/en-gb/user/maker/94d4213f-86c2-4d0f-ba85-2210fd86702a
The charities benefitting from y9our purchases, and from Smine's generous donations are:
Body Positive Inc: bodypositive.org.nz - specifically into “the nz wellness fund” which they manage;
NZ AIDS Foundation - nzaf.org.nz/participate/where-your-money-goes/.
The patterns were designed for the Sockmatician Edition 4-ply yarn, which is available from the Sockmashop (https://www.sockmatician.com) if you live in the northern hemisphere, and from skeinz.com if you live in the southern hemisphere.
Please do dig deep toto lend your support to these two worthy causes, and make a positive difference. Check out Smine's other work too, which is all fantastic. You won't regret having a look!
