Any of our ladies want to help our colonial cousins?
Just got this from a friend on the Getcrafty list, sounds worthwhile and a good excuse to get knitting. anyone else up for it? we could do them a barbe-parcel...
And a friend/glitterati is thining of starting a UK-based version....
*******************************
Time to break out the fleece, wool, sewing machine, crochet hook,
knitting needles and loom... The Glitterati at Getcrafty.com invite you to join us in creating beautiful scarves to donate to the (now annual!)
Glitter Holiday Scarf Drive.
Last year we collected over 100 gorgeous handmade scarves by crafty people from all over the world - Glitterati and non-Glitterati, young and
old, individuals and groups. Pics here:
The scarves were donated to two programs serving women in need: TLC (women & mothers with mental illness) and Sanctuary For Families (a haven for abused women/mothers and their children). Ideas for Organizations in the NYC area are most welcome.
Please volunteer some time and energy to creating beautiful scarf(s) to keep a woman warm and happy this winter:
1. Please make sure the scarf is adult-sized
2. Please add a hangtag/giftag/notecard stating the fiber content and a little note from the crafter
3. Please roll or fold the scarf and tie it with ribbon or yarn (see pics on above mentioned page). Do not giftwrap - the women should be able to see the colors/textures and choose accordingly, but the scarves do need to be bundled up.
