Bethesda is central Oklahoma's only non-profit dedicated solely to the treatment and prevention of childhood sexual abuse. This is an amazing organization and I am honored to support them.
In addition to the style show, there is a silent auction with tons of great loot -- including for us knitter fools:
- HUGE knitting basket with lots of premium yarn, books, the Yarn Harlot's 2009 calendar, and market bag kit.
- A darling hand-knit red elephant (which is lovely with THREE original elephant art paintings from the elephants at the OKC Zoo)
- A beautiful felted cabled bag for carrying anything your heart desires
Each of the above items were generously donated to Bethesda by Norman-area knitters.
I snapped a few pics of the auction items and tables and you can see them on the right.AND because my photos don't do the items justice, below is a list of just a few of great offerings.
