Warm up the Winter

OK, you know how we always take a rather funny tone around here. Well listen knitters, I need to talk to you about something serious for a minute. You are knitters…and that makes you wonderfully estimable people. When there is a need posted out there in knitblog land, we knitters step up to the plate and meet it. Well I have a need. We, like every city have homeless, and while we can’t knit everyone a home or knit them a job or knit them a nice cushy bank account (else I would have done it a long time ago), we can knit them something warm and woolly and wonderful. Something to let them know that we care, that they haven’t been forgotten or swept under a rug.

I would love it if you all could help. If you have a blog, please, make a post about this and link back here, tell your knitting group, tell your favorite LYS, tell every knitter you know. I want to turn this small idea into something big and warm and woolly. So here is what I’m asking:

Knit one or many of the following items: hats, mittens, or gloves.

Knit for a man, or a woman, or a child, or knit for all three.

Please knit something warm, simple or full of cables or fair isle, it’s up to you. Fun fur really isn’t all that warm, our main goal here is warmth.

Send them to me:

Tracey L. Durf

P.O. Box 23

Lurgan, PA 17232

I, in turn, will deliver them to the Franklin County Homeless Shelter where they will be distributed. There is no deadline so send them in whenever you can. There is a need, I know with your help, we can fill it. Let’s warm up the winter. Thanks all you wonderful knitterly people.

And since we knitbloggers love our buttons…

…remember take the button not the bandwidth.
