snugglekittyI am broke, but desire to contribute something to the relief effort for hurricane survivors anyhow. So I want to knit or crochet something.
It seems that there are two main things that can be done. One is that there are several small charities that are collecting baby stuff for region survivors. The other is the Crafters United charity, which sells handmade items and gives the proceeds to charity.
I think I may do both. I have a bunch of soft washable yarn (read: acrylic) that I can make baby hats with. And, I have yarn for a project that I was interested in making but realized I didn't need to own afterwards. So here I go!
For more information, take a look here.
For folks in the Boston area, there's also a blanket being put together to be sold at auction for The Network/La Red. They're looking for seven-inch squares in solid blue or solid purple. More info on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
