Norah's Knits & Handcrafts will be a vendor at the Tower Grove Park Frosted Pop-Up Sale on Sunday, December 15, 2024 from 9am to 1 pm, in the park near the Piper Palm House. There are several races (5K, etc.) and other events in the park that are part of the "Frosted" winter events as well. Piper Palm House is on the north side of the park just east of Center Drive (the extension of Tower Grove Avenue that goes through the partk).  I will have handmade (handknit & crocheted) scarves, shawls, purses, fingerless mittens, hats, cowls, and handmade flannel baby blankets for sale. Visa & Mastercard accepted. 

  Here are a few recently finished items. The baby blanket is all cotton, mostly #4 weight. The potholders are also all cotton, in the style I have been making recently. On the blanket, a few of the colors were lighter weight yarn, which involved finessing the last row of  some of the squares so that they ended up all the same size. 

 

I've been putting together "Handknit Fashion Baskets" to donate to several local charities, to use for raffle or silent auction items. The one pictured here will be a Raffle Item today at a fundraiser for Roosevelt High School Football Breakfasts (our local public high school). I've donated several others to local charities - to the MICA Project, Five Star Senior Center, and DeSales Community Development. I will also be donating one to a Rock & Roll BINGO fundraiser for Roosevelt High School's 100th Anniversary in 2025 (event to be held October 27). Sorting the items to put in each basket has been fun!  

Stack of books - I've set a few aside for someone, but most of these books are looking for a (new) home.Below: Rectangular shawl in Ostrich plume pattern, Cattail Silk yarn from Purl Soho (100% silk).
