Hats for Salvation Army and Photoshoot - Update 1

Happy March everyone!!! Can you believe we are already three months into the new year?

It has been a couple weeks since I last posted,  so I figured it was time for an update. The days have been filled with mopping floors (I'm a part time janitor, ya know), executing matron-of-honor duties, skyping with my hubby, and of course knitting away while I patiently (or not so much) wait to jump on a plane so I can be with him again.

Hat for my sister. Actually designed
it most on my own.

While waiting is hard, it does allow for a lot of time to create. So far, I have finished two hats for the Salvation Army, with a third had in progress. Only 7 1/2 to to reach my goal before leaving! I also finished a hat for my sister and am almost finished with a sweater for my best friend's up-coming wedding.

In other news, I am so excited to announce that I am partnering with a photographer friend, Kristina, at Love Letters Photography to capture some gorgeous shots of the baby hats I have been crocheting on some even more adorable babies. This is exciting for me as a growing knitter because it is the first step in launching the ministry side of my craft. I have a long way to go before Rai Of Hope Ministries is a fully functioning shop that both sells and donates the things I get to create out of yarn. But, this is an exciting step. I can't wait to share the images that come out of this and see where this all leads. 

Look!! My hats are in an official picture!! ^_^

I hope March has started off well for you and those around you. March always seems to be a busy month, with mid-terms and spring break, and everything. Don't forget to take time to do the things you love, with the ones you love.

Until next time!
