It warms the heart.
That represents so much time and love...
wow. I think I'm getting misty! Way to go on the scam!

And to think there were actually some people who thought 2,000 was too high a goal! Hah! I say! Hah! I think we should plan on a goal of 5,000 for next year's shipment. Mary B

Oops, that was supposed to be "HALLELUIA!" with much emphasis in the form of brackets... *sheepish* So *that's* why that preview button is there! Blarg

Holy Shnikeys!! Wow. Just wow. I really need to get my box in the mail. Wow.

Ummm...I'm with Mary B. I think if we plan on knitting a hat or a scarf in between all of our other projects we do for this year, we'll make 5000 for next year easy. Crochet an afghan, knit a hat for Dulaan. Knit a tank top, knit a scarf for Dulaan.....I'm liking it. Plus it gives you an opportunity to work on something easy or try out new stuff. Yeah. I haven't even mailed off this batch and I'm getting all worked up over the next.

Wow.

WOW. (but I'm not surprised)

I need to mail off my box soon.

I mailed my box yesterday with 20 items inside. Woohoo!

Yippee!!! I was a doubter, I'll admit it. But I've got a box here just waiting for someone who will remain nameless to get around to sewing on buttons, and that box has more than 20 items in it... So for sure we've made the 2000 that MaryB was aiming for.

So, should I take a trip somewhere to mail my box from an hitherto unheard from state?

My 9 are going off tomorrow. I'm really proud to have been a part of this! I wonder if anyone's mailed from New Mexico yet????

And cruising blogland, I saw that Donna of Random Knits has a box with 13 items ready to go out soon.

WeeeeHAWWWWW! I'm gonna have a glass of wine to celebrate. And being of relatively unsound mind and body, this afternoon I cast on for a pair of wool baby/toddler socks. I'm working on them now. Just for practice on socks, you understand.....

Uh, Norma, didn't you say you were DONE with charity knitting for now? Oh, that's right; they're just practice socks.

To everyone--very cool, huh? I've been having violent attacks of goosebumps all day, when I least expect them.

Ryan, my hats are still coming too, about a dozen. This has been fun, and I've been able to try out some new yarns that aren't available locally.

wowza!! I have a sleeve to go on my last item. then I'll mail it out monday. I can safely say I have over 10 items. (I'm thinking about 15.. but I've lost track)

1989.. it was a very good year :)

goosebumps indeed.

I mailed off my box of six on Friday. :)

Ryan, great job! (everyone else, too). I sent off my 7 items this morning -- would have been more, but these had to be added on to my regular knitting for others, because I can't neglect CIC or A4A. I'm so glad enough people showed, again, how much they care.

I'd love to send you a photo of the 20 knitted and crocheted items I made for the Dulaan Project: 2 hooded scarves, 11 hats and 7 scarves. Thank you for bringing this opportunity to help...

How wonderful! I hope you received my box from England...i've already started knitting socks for next year,i've never knitted them before and i'm really enjoying knitting them,small and easy to pick up in between other projects,i hope to contribute a few towards the 5,000 target :))Way to go girls!Well done! i've followed your progress and i think your Brill!

Gret job with the Project! But excuse me, is everyone just going to gloss over the 'turning the printer on with her toes'comment. I for one am glad more people are coming out in the open with this. I can turn on and pick up many things with my toes and I have read about bloggers even knitting with their toes ( Btchwstx.blogspot.com) There, your laugh for the day.
