Helping HAITI!
Following the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti the other day, many knitters and crocheters are wondering what to do.
The first thing, is donate money, through your church, through the Red Cross... get those dollars there to help with immediate first response needs.
I have created a page on my website with some information for those of us with more yarn than money. We can be part of the second response teams...

Let's pray for the people of Haiti and then do something more by making items that are needed and that have a means to get to the people.
