The migration trip started on October 18th from the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, and they hope to arrive in Florida sometime in January. Here's where we come in--with $$ to become MileMaker sponsors (quarter mile: $52, half mile: $104; mile: $208).
The items I'm auctioning off this month are neck warmers (just in time for winter). These neck warmers are hand-knitted (by me!) from 100% alpaca yarn (that was spun and hand dyed in Chile). Neck warmers are nice to keep your neck and chin warm--especially when you don't want to have the bulk of a scarf around your neck. My auction plan is this: whoever places the highest bid at the end of the auction may choose the neck warmer in the color of their choice. Then if anyone else is interested in purchasing a neck warmer, the rest of them will be sold at the same price as the original high bid. That way everyone gets a chance to purchase for themself or a gift and we also raise more $$. Does that make sense?
As in previous auctions, you can post your bids in the "Comments" section (be sure to indicate your color choice by listing the associated letter). If you don't want to leave your bid as a comment, you may also e-mail me (rjknits at msn dot com). My hope is that we get enough bids to sponsor at least a quarter mile, but a half mile would be even better! The auction starts tonight and ends on Wednesday, November 5th (I'll give you a little extra time on account of everybody being tuned in to election stuff on Tuesday)

Uh-oh. Alpaca is wool, isn't it? (I can't wear wool next to my skin.) Just wanna be sure before I lay down the big bucks! ;)
Those are beautiful Ruthie, and Operation Migration is such a great cause. I'll open the bidding at $10. :c)
Hi Chicken Mama,
I don't know for sure whether alpaca qualifies as wool, but I'm guessing the effect would probably be the same right against your skin.
Thanks Jayne, for getting the bidding started.
I'm in! I'll raise the bid to $20.
Woo-hoo! Thanks Lynne! Do you have a color choice?
I've been snoozing here in PA and I almost missed the auction. I'll bid $25. My fave is B. Thanks, Ruthie!
