Scrubbie Project contributes to Hurricane Katrina survivors
The String Scrubbie project has ended just in time. We are taking remaining scrubbies and stitching them into baby blankets so that Stitches from the Heart can send them to Hurricane Katrina survivors on the Gulf Coast of the US.
While survivors really are in great need of food and water, those aren't things we can knit. But we can help babies and children who need some comfort and covering.
We encourage you to donate to Stitches from the Heart to help them with postage for knitted shipments, and to the Red Cross, who is helping hurricane survivors

We also will soon be officially launching the Rad Bad Beanie project, which will help kids in the hospital and urban teens in wilderness mentoring experiences. This is sliding to the back burner for a while, so we can focus on helping Katrina survivors.
