Relay for Life Mittens, take two!

Last February The NorDakPurl Gurl's Relay for Life group decided to have a silent auction as an additional fund raiser. The gals had a fantastic idea because the fundraiser gives everyone in the little NorDak town the opportunity to do a little Valentine's Day shopping for their sweethearts at someplace other than the local Walmart or Penneys. I knit and felted some mittens last year and was very pleased to hear the amount they raised toward the defeat of cancer. (Norwegians love their wives but are a practical lot - AND mittens are a necessity in Nor' Da'ko'ta!!) I knit another pair this year and just finished needle felting them tonight. The weather has been cold and snowy so I'm hoping they will be in demand!!
