My RAKs was to cancel my XM radio service for the year and donated the annual fee to Doctors Without Borders.

I hope everyone has a terrific New Year.

I may be too late too, but …

I was sorting out my knitting needles, and found some extra addis that I do not use any more. One of the homeless I pass by on my way to work most days was sitting out with her “coin can” and knitting. Instead of coins, I left her with a skin of sock yarn and a set of size 3 addi circs. The look on her face was priceless.

I’ll ask her in another day or so if she would like some patterns… I feel so bad for those that have the skill, but not the tools to do so.

Well, I may have been too late for the RAK contest, but I’m going to post anyway.

I found out about Feed It Forward (which was an online Christmas time promotion) and sent out gift certificates to restaurants to as many people as I could surprise before Christmas.

I also made sure to let people who were behind me in line who had less stuff than me go before me in line so they wouldn’t have to wait so long.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

My RAK was sort of random. We went to our next door neighbor’s Christmas Eve to take a small present to their little girl. The mom was wanting to make cut out sugar cookies and decorate them with her daughter, but she doesn’t bake much and had never made cut out cookies before. She had spent all week caring for her ailing mother-in-law and trying to get Christmas ready for her 2 year old. I started out helping her with the cookies and took over mixing, cutting them out and baking them so that she could sit down and enjoy decorating them with her daughter and not worry about the rest of the process. I washed all the dishes in the sink when we were finished.

I didn’t get any yarn or yarnie gift certificates for the holiday, but that’s OK. I have a bit of spending money after the holiday is over and I want to use it here (well, some of it… I have race fees I need to pay too).

I hope your holiday was a lot of fun!

My to-be-knit list hibernated during gift knitting ‘cuz I kept adding things to the gift list. I have a re-do on a pair of mitts that didn’t fit (I didn’t do a very good job of approximating yardage and ran out of yarn. I think I learned my lesson this time.) Hopefully I’ll wake up my list later this week.

Hi! Sheri,
My RAK also wasn’t really random…just helped out a loopy groupie on Ravelry who had an unfortunate incident with her stash.

Hope you and the elves have a great 2009!
