More scarves and hats off to Zuni

I didn't get too much knitting done in the past year for my friend Bonnie who teaches out at the Zuni pueblo, but I packed up and mailed off to her the few things I got made this past year. My goal for next year is to complete at least twice as many items!

The Pueblo of Zuni

On April 30, the last day of our journey through western New Mexico, we had time to drive south from Gallup to the Zuni Reservation, and we were glad we did. We had no idea the area Zuni was so breathtakingly lovely.

Zuni is located at the far west central part of the state, 150 miles west of Albuquerque, in McKinley and Cibola counties, encompassing 450,000 acres. Zuni lands range from 6,000 to 8000 feet in elevation, and there are many areas of hunting and fishing on the Zuni reservation. The actual town of Zuni is fairly good-sized, with schools, shops, and a hospital.

We just had time to do a drive through, but wished we had more time to explore the reservation, and also to contact our friends who live out there and work in the pueblo as teachers.

Zuni is definitely worth another trip!

Knitting for Zuni

Most of my knitting in the past months has been for my new grandson, Alessandro.

But I did manage to sqeeeze in a little time to knit a few winter hats and scarves to send off to my friend Bonnie at the Zuni Pueblo to give to anyone out there who needs some extra warm winter things.

I am going to get them into the mail Monday morning.

My goal for next winter is to get twice as many done.
