The interpreters have been coming in all week, picking up their period clothes and choosing new knitted stockings from this fantastic collection. So far everyone has found a pair they like and that fit. Thank you all so much; without your generosity we would not have had any knitted stockings to distribute.
Gloves are also going away; some people who had been wearing many-times-mended yet still hole-full gloves have brand-new warm ones now. Thank you.
It has been rather busy in the office this week; people coming and going, trying on things, trading, choosing, taking away….
I will get some photos of interpreters in the new knitted goods and share them with you. Thanks again.
So many people answered our call for volunteer knitters that we have used up our yarn budget for the year. If you’d like to knit, or you’d like to knit some more, let me know and I’ll put your name on our knitters list for next year. Next winter I’ll order more yarn and send out kits again.
Lace samples have arrived from Mary D, Norma B and Carolyn W. They are all just beautiful. I hope to have good news soon about scheduling lace making.
To order a kit for either the embroidery or the lace, send an email to Kathy at kroncarati@plimoth.org or call her at 508-746-1622 X 8114. Kits are $40 each plus $5 for shipping. Included in the $40 is a $20 tax-deductible donation which directly supports the project. For more information, you can email me at jhall@plimoth.org or leave a comment.

My stockings should be to you soon — I’m down to the second foot. How much yarn do the gloves or mittens take — or do they take the same yarn? There’s a fair amount of yarn going to be left which I’ll pack and send with the stockings unless you’ve got something else you’d like me to do with it. When I’m done I’ll weigh and let you know how many ounces left.

I should have the second glove of the second pair finished tonight and both pair in the mail tomorrow.I’ll start on extra feet for stockings with my leftover stocking yarn next.

Hi,
I just finished my stockings and will be sending them to you after Pennsic. You should get them no later than September. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. If you don’t have enough knitters, you could put me down as a knitter for next year for a pair of gloves.
Take care.
