Pine Ridge Reservation Needs Your Help!

My husband just sent me the following email... if you knit or crochet for charity this is a great opportunity to help someone out:

There is an Indian reservation that is in really bad shape. Unemployment is 85%.
Apparently they need blankets for the elders and children.

"If you know how to knit or crochet visit the Love Afghans for Pine Ridge Reservation. This group collects knitted and crocheted afghan squares and makes them into for full size afghans to send to Pine Ridge. You can also donate yarn you have left over from your projects."

Thanks for Stopping By!

I've just set up this blog for my friends and family to see what I'm working on lately with my knitting and crochet projects. I have been knitting for roughly ten years and learned to crochet when my daughter was a baby, so that's nearly sixteen years. Nevertheless I do not consider myself terribly advanced... just doing much of the same things all that time.

I do both freehand and loom knitting and I have made garments, dolls, and knick-knacks. Unfortunately some of my photos from a few years back were destroyed while moving, which is a shame since I had done some really nice things for both my daughter and to sell on eBay when I had a crafts business.

Truth be told, I also have several large storage bins full of yarn that have been sitting around for ages, and it's time I started whittling down my supply. What better way than to finally put it to good use?

As soon as I'm able I will start posting pictures of various things I've done already. I currently have about six different projects going at once - no joke. I like to multitask, what can I say? :-)

So keep coming back, I promise I'll have new things up here soon!
