Helping Kids Crochet and Knit
October 5th, 2008
Some of you may not be aware, but I work for Six Apart. On our Everything TypePad blog, there is a post regarding the 2nd Annual DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge. (You can read more about it here.)
To the right of this entry, if you are viewing this directly on the blog, you will see a widget, prompting you to donate to some worthy causes.
First up…
the Crochet Club, which was started by a teacher in South Carolina. She is trying to raise some money for supplies so that her 3rd-5th grade students are able to learn an (awesome!) skill, that will also preoccupy them during their morning wait for school to begin.
That was the only crochet-related cause at DonorsChoose.org, so I decided to bring in some knitting-related ones as well. I am, however, keeping with the teacher’s teaching their students a craft theme.
The other 3 groups are as follows:
Let’s Learn to Knit — an elective class of 6th graders in a high-needs community who need to raise funds for supplies. There has been enthusiasm for such a class, but there is no guarantee that the students’ families will be able to provide supplies.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside — High School students wanting to learn how to knit, then providing the finished objects to their local Ronald McDonald house. Needs funds for supplies.
Warm Head, Warm Heart — Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders are wanting to learn how to knit in order to provide their finished goods to the local homeless shelters.
That’s it! If you’re willing to donate even $2.00 to either, or each, of these groups, please do so. They’ll be able to meet their goals if we all just give what we can.
As incentive, if we can meet the goals for each of the groups, I will create a colorway and hold a giveaway. If we meet the goal for one group, I will create a colorway and dye a single skein of DK-weight yarn and offer it up on this blog for a giveaway. If we meet the goal for two groups, I will create a colorway and dye TWO skeins of DK-weight yarn. If we meet the goal for THREE groups, I will–you get the point.
For every group’s goal we meet, I will dye an equal amount of skeins, and we will have an equal amount of winners. 1 goal, 1 skein, 1 winner. 4 goals, 4 skeins, 4 winners.
Go ahead, donate, and make me proud!

OMG Yay Giveaways
July 2nd, 2008
You have to head over to the Crochet and Knit Giveaways right now. Seriously. Don’t read anymore, just go.
For those of you who don’t follow directions (I’m looking at YOU), what awaits you is the chance to win a $50 gift certificate for…
That’s right! Scout’s Swag.
Scout graciously accepted my nervous-as-hell proposal, pretty much without question. This either means that she is (a) crazy, or (b) unable to say no, even when she has ridiculous amounts of things to do already. BUT, she said yes, and that makes me excited.
Scout is the first sponsor/vendor, which is a huge deal. I mean, really, have you seen how incredibly awesome her swag is? Her yarn alone is de-lish, but to put the rest of the store’s notions and swag on top of that? It’s like one of those funny-between-the-legs nice dreams, but when you’re awake.
Oh dear.
