Warm Woolies FeelGood Campaign

Back in October I received a package. About 7 pounds of yarn wound into two huge cones, one purple, and one black. This was a donation from one of my favorite classic clothing stores, Lands' End, which had teamed up with Warm Woolies to provide clothing for children on tribal reservations here in the United States. (Lands' End garments made from FeelGood yarn can be purchased here. No, I didn't hand knit any of these :) )

With the help of my good friend Heidi, (almost all) the yarn was knitted up into sweaters, vests and hats.

Here is our handiwork, minus one hat, which was cast on and completed while I proctored final exams just before I packed up the lot and shipped it off. I still feel guilty about the 4 oz or so of yarn I didn't manage to use up (could've made another hat!), but there was just more yarn than time.
