another charity needing knitting donations.

Hey Boys and Girls

After discussing the options for providing hats and scarves for the people here in New Orleans who lost everything in Katrina, we are forming a project called Bundle Up New Orleans, largely with members from the New Orleans Knitting Meetup and anyone else who wants to participate. After what Katrina did, finding winterwear hasn't been a large priority, but now that winter is actually here, it needs to be done.

I've posted details at http://www.knitivity.com right there on the front page (other stuff will go there shortly; as the project grows and partners/supporters are added, it will get it's own special section.

Of course, easy-care washable yarns (high-grade acrylic, acrylic-wool, and acrylic-cotton blends) with a smooth texture are always welcomed to create functional and durable winterwear.

I can donate a tonna (kinda cheap) yearns I bought "by the pound" and which are in storage at the moment. Let me know, I can run up to UHaul whenever. I know I have black, white, some reddish and some brownish stuff. The black and white are thin "typical" yarn (acrylic) and the red and browns are lovely thicker bumpy acrylics, um that tweedy stuff?

Anyhow, if you or anyone wants, I gots.
