Yes, we skipped a year. But we are starting up now, for a new charity drive which will be finishing up in October 2009. The FAQ and all associated pages will be updated shortly, but right now I’m just so excited to be getting going that I had to post something Right Now.
This year we will again be knitting, crocheting, sewing, etc. for the local Domestic Violence shelters. This means we would love donations of all manner of handmade items, from socks to hats & mittens, to sweaters, to blankets, to toys (yes toys!). We have a year to collect items, so let’s set a goal of 200 items in hand by October 31, 2009!
One new addition to the Made by Hand organizational family this year is a brand new group on Ravelry. If you have a Ravelry account, please look us up (the group is Made by Hand, and if you have trouble finding it, find me (I’m tryslora there as well) and it’s under my list of groups) and join in the fun there too.
I’m so very excited about this year’s project, and I can’t wait to get started. Some of us have already started working, before the project was set, so I’ll have some status updates (and a pic!) later today.
