I was informed by Marcia, that Shelly Kneupper Tucker is "searching for people with big hearts", to help with the Share a Square Project.
The project is about sending six inch crocheted (or knitted) squares to be stitched together for afghans to give to the children at Camp Sanguinity in July of 2008. A black crocheted border will be added by volunteers in Texas.
Click HERE to read the initial post about this grass roots charitable project.
- For those of you intrerested in helping, you will find Shelly's instructions for 6 inches Crocheted squares here. but you can use your favorite pattern if you wish. HERE are 13 examples for all levels (click on links for instructions).
- And for those who prefer Knitting, I have found that Womans' Day's Baby Shower Afghan that offers instructions for six different 6 inches squares that would fit perfectly in the afghans. Again, this is just a suggestion; you knit the square you want as long as it measures 6 inches on each of its four sides...
Then, when you are done, here is the adress to send your squares to:
Shelly Kneupper Tucker P.O. Box 2241 Denton, TX 76202 |
** BUT, if you can’t crochet or knit, you can help spread the word. Please, add a button to your site with a link to the original post. Instructions for doing so can be found here or here. Of course, making one or more squares AND post into your blog is allowed!
Thank you for your time and generosity!
