CIC Completed Projects
I took advantage of the LONG automobile ride to and from Colorado over the Memorial Day Weekend and almost completely finished two projects for CIC. Upon arrival back home, just a few minutes grafting the toe of the gold color socks and a few minutes finishing the vest were all that was needed. These little projects are so much fun - they go fast and will keep precious children in Russia warm in the very cold winter. I'm amazed at how many women are participating in this charity knitting and I'm certainly blessed to be among them!

It's really great that you knit for CIC. Our best friends adopted their son from an orphanage in Siberia. They have centralized steam heat there, and if you have the bad luck to live on the outskirts of town, you don't get much heat. Plus, the heat is only turned on from x date to y date. Heaven help you if there's a cold snap in the in-between time b/c there's no heat then. They can also use warm but washable "soakers" and leggings. B/c diapers are so expensive, lots of the orphanges don't use them. They just change the kids' clothes when they pee or poop. As you can imagine, they also push potty training from an insanely early age (as soon as they can sit unassisted on the potty).
Oh I love those little socks!!! And the vest is wonderful.
