The St. Baldrick's event was a success! A number of people shaved their heads in solidarity for those who have to shave their heads during chemo. And the knitters made a whole pile of hats for the shavees.
I had 3rd grade football game, so I arrived late. My sweetie took our little football player home to change his clothes (he was also supposed to have him shower, but whatever.) We got there just in time to rush to fill out our raffle tickets and stuff them into the little containers. In fact, I didn't even do that right. My sweetie found some of my tickets under a box. Apparently I had left them there when I picked it up to put a ticket in.
They had over a hundred raffle prizes, and we ended up making out like bandits. We won gift certificates to three local pubs/restaurants. AND, we won the big prize of the night: a charcoal grill/smoker. Way cool.
But the best part of the night: the person who won the shawl I donated, was a Kniterventioner. She is one of our crocheters, not a knitter, but she was still a fiber person. And she still appreciated my knitting enough to put her tickets in the little container. I am so honored, and reassured that someone who understands yarn will be taking good care of my shawl.
Today, it is all about the honor.
