Knitting with the Knit Wits

Every Wednesday at lunch, I head down to the cafe on the 6th floor to eat and knit with the AT charity knitting group, the Knit Wits. I've had a lot of fun so far, knitting with the Knit Wits, and am happy I've had the opportunity to get to know a new group of people at work. And I've picked up a few new skills in the process!

Last winter, we knit hats for a charity called Warm Woolies: http://www.warmwoolies.org/

And this spring, we're going to auction off a big afghan and donate the proceeds to an organization called No Child Left Inside: http://www.cbf.org/site/PageServer?pagename=act_sub_actioncenter_federal_NCLB

Everyone is responsible for knitting one 12x12 square and then at the end, we'll knit them together and add a border. I chose this pattern for a couple of reasons. Not only does it closely resemble Jason's wedding band, but it is also the center panel in the afghan my mother knit for me when I left for college!

I have about 6 more inches to go on my square. I'll be sure to take a pic of the completed afghan this April at our spring charity event!
