My main contributions will be a hand woven wool plaid blanket, some hand spun yarn, maybe some knitted items and there is a student level violin I may also add. Wayne has also be contributing a set of hand tied fishing flies.
Here is a CROCHETED socks pattern if anyone is interested. Used “self-striping” yarn. Instructions and photos are attached.

The yarn is KROY for socks. It is a little heavier than “super fine.” Just use, as is, right off the skein. (NOT double stranded as I previously had thought. Oops.)
ONE skein ($12) will make one sock = TWO skeins for a pair of socks ($24).

WOW, Anne. Things already are piling up at your end. Time for me to get the lead out! :0)
I am looking forward to hearing about the committee. I have a couple of ideas and questions to share when the time comes.

Basic Crocheted Socks (November 2016)
Is that sock weight yarn or heavier Vince?

I will be doing some weaving a scarf or shawl for the auction as well as some knitted items.

*Kudos to ANNE for planting the seed of this idea for auction items.
