Labor of Love

40 more squares being mailed out Tuesday

Calling all Crafters - Calling all who have a heart . . .

Check out Shelly’s Monday labor of love and see where the first granny square afghan found a home.

Calling all Crafters - Calling all who have a heart . . .

Every square helps toward the goal of covering 140 campers at Camp Sanguinity during summer 2008.

Calling all Crafters - Calling all who have a heart . . .

Not a crocheter? Not a knitter? It’s really okay - there are other ways to help. Shelly is making a call for prepunched tags to attach to the squares that come to her without - she’d like each square to hold its own little message for the recipient - its own little hug. Some folks forget to attach the tags (some even come completely anonymously so that she doesn’t even know who sent them) so she has been making and attaching them herself.

orrrrrrrrrrrrr - you could perhaps send a donation to help cover the cost of postage as she sends squares to volunteers who will edge them in black and then put them together into an afghan.

orrrrrrrrrrrr - you could send her a skein or two of Red Heart brand black yarn to do the edging. (or a $$ donation to cover the cost of the yarn).

See? Lots of ways to help.

one more BIG way to help . . . pass the word to your crafty friends and neighbors.

thanks so much!

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
