Anyway.
Everyone else posting 'Where I Knit' photos seems to have included somewhere in front of the TV, and I do knit there too, so here are two more 'where I knit' photos for your pleasure: my spot on the couch, and the view from the couch.


Looking at these photos, I am reminded that The Baby has more toys than she'll play with in three lifetimes. Do any of my Charleston readers (I know I've got two or three) know of a local women's shelter? Otherwise I'll just pick one out of the phone book for a toy and baby gear drop-off.
Thanks again, everyone participating in the 'Where I Knit' deal. If you've posted a photo and I haven't left a comment, that means I haven't seen it. Drop me a link or an e-mail so I can check it out.
And finally, a photo of 'the aunties'. These are my mother-in-law's sisters (and my mother-in-law) wearing the scarves I knit for them. Apparently they were all impressed that I had somehow discovered their favorite colors.

All I did was pay attention to how they dressed and match colors to personalities. Hah. (Most people dress in a family of colors. If you pay attention and get in the groove, gift-giving is easy. Also, pick out the flamboyant personalities and knit them bright purple scarves.)
Now I'm gonna go slug back caffeine and try to figure out You-Tube.
Oh. And wrestle The Baby.

Don't all the aunties look great with their scarves! Bet they're a great bunch of women. And I read your colour article on knitty so I figure your colour theory stuff works!

This is the website for My Sister's House, a safe shelter for victims of domestic violence. You can find drop points for donations on the side menu. Also, there is Once Upon A Child which will buy clothes and toys from you for resale (they have a store across from Citadel Mall, in the same plaza as World Market).
Another option for keeping toys and outgrown clothes circulating is Freecycle (tm):

I'm a moderator for a local Freecycle group.
Note that there are at least two fake websites with ".com" and ".net" that are not the "real" Freecycle: if they ask you for money, they are fakes!
You picked great colors for each of them. I promise I'll post a photo of where I knit, provided I can get my blankety blank computer up and running again.
Photos of where I knit are up!
