Raven's Rascals

Been quite a while and WOW hit 500+ likes! Hi all! So, what have I been up to? Not much in the way of yarny fun, I'm afraid. But lots of other fun remodeling projects have been happening! Those projects will be happening through the summer, but I hope to get back to my yarn soon. I'm going through withdrawals!! Now, I have it easy in the winter knowing what to make. I mean, cowls are my favorite items to make, but they're just not summer friendly. What kinds of summer friendly items would you like to see? I'm thinking of some yarny necklaces. Hope the past few months have been well for you all!

Hi everyone! Busy keeping up with the kiddos. And speaking of those kiddos, our youngest, almost 9, has informed me we should be helping the homeless. So, we did a little research and found a local charity that does just that. Starting soon, we'll be adding the option of choosing to "give back" to Share Vancouver (http://sharevancouver.org/). We also recently heard about our school district's foundation which helps our students and their families in many ways. Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools (http://foundationforvps.org/) will also be added to the "give back" choices. I'm excited that my children are looking for ways to give back to others that have less than they do! It's one of the reasons I love doing what I'm doing! :)

Share Vancouver - Serving the Hungry & Homeless Share envisions a community without hunger, where all people have safe and adequate housing and the skills to enhance their quality of life.

Does anyone else suffer from not wanting to complete a project if it takes longer than a few days to do? Get sidetracked like me into doing a completely new project just because it won't take so long? Yep, that happened today. I practiced my knitting skills (there's not much yet) and made this cowl based on Claire's cowl from the show Outlander. It was also adorable on my 8yo as a shoulder warmer. I'm thinking of making some for the shop. I know they're everywhere now, but it was so much fun to make I feel I need some justification for making more. Well, maybe...after I finish up a few of those multiple day projects. :)

Yep, said new products soon, but alas, summer vacation is just super busy with all 4 kiddos home. So decided why fight it, shop is on vacation through July and possibly August. Will let you know when we're reopened. :)
