2 Shy of 400

So I'm now in Austin, Texas, getting ready for graduate school to start. Moving 1500 miles from my home, I was limited by what I could fit into my car. Unfortunately, that meant that I had to use up my entire stash of yarn before I left, which is mostly in these blankets (they each use 3 strings of yarn at one time). With these items that I'm donating to ARC, I am now 2 items shy of 400 items donated. 

Items:
-15 pairs of socks
-3 pairs of booties
-1 cat bed
-5 cat/dog mats

-5 baby blankets

Cheers!

369 and Meeting Jee Jee

Last night I met Jee Jee Kim, the amazing woman in charge of ARC, the charity I support. She is easily the sweetest person I have ever met and you can tell that she is truly sincere in everything she does. I am honored to support her charity and hopefully I can continue to do so when I move to Texas.

Last night I also donated 45 items to ARC, bring the total to 369 items donated since 2009. The breakdown of the 45 follows:


-1 baby rattle
-1 baby blanket
-1 cat bed
-6 hats
-7 earwarmers
-13 pairs of mittens (one is not pictured)
-7 pairs of booties
-3 pairs of socks
-1 pair of long (knee-ish high) socks
-1 enfant pinafore
-2 scarves

-A camera and a snail

324 Donated Items!!

Life has been busy lately, with finishing graduate applications and the last fall semester of my undergraduate career not to mention the massive holiday rush on etsy. But since that has calmed down, I've had a bit of time to do some charity crocheting. Here are the spoils of my labor of love.


But I'd like to say some more things. One: If you are a bit of a math nerd (no shame in that :3) and tallied my donations from this and the last post, you'll find that it comes to 323. I converted my paper tally of my donations into an excel one and in doing so, discovered that my donations were actually 324. So I basically discovered that I can't count. All my 5s on the calc and stat AP exams and calc III in college have failed me. *hangs head*


Two: Crocheting for the next several months may be difficult given the amount of work I put on myself for this last spring semester. *sad panda*

Donated Items:
-1 baby blanket (the white one since in previous pictures)
-4 bibs
-3 earwarmers
-1 cat bed and cat mat
-2 stuffed animals
-7 pairs of mittens
-1 pair of booties
-4 scarves
-13 hats
-6 10" x 10" squares for a blanket

Also seen here are the four items my mom donated to ARC.


Cheers!
