Keepin' Out of Mischief!

I knit and crochet a lot - a whole lot! I indulge in my love of these activities while watching hockey games, spending some spare time over lunch, passing an hour or two listening to music, etc. etc. It keeps me out of mischief producing baby blankets, afghans, scarves, cotton dish clothes, doilies and hats.
One of my favourite items to make is a good old Canadian toque. I make them frequently, so they pile up and I need to find homes for them before they take over all available spare space in my domicile. A batch of two dozen noggin-warmers that I finished back in January were done in much more subdued tones - plain blacks, heather-tone browns, and so on. They found their way to a downtown Toronto shelter for homeless men. The two colourful toques you see off to the right are part of a collection that will be making their way down to an orphanage in Jamaica. They'll be taken there by a friend's church group, and I 'll be happy to know my toques will be getting the chance to perch atop some heads, as they were meant to do.
