crochet, sew, felt, embroider, and otherwise construct scarves to keep women and children in domestic violence shelters warm during the 2007/2008 holiday season. this project is modeled after many others throughout the country and around the world, but we're bringing it closer to home.
at the moment, i'm in contact with several shelters in the pittsburgh area, and there's a great interest in receiving donations of handmade scarves to give as gifts during the holidays. while we may not be able to meet every need of every individual in the area, the idea is to provide handmade, thoughtful, warm gifts to women and children in these shelters.
how to get involved:
we'll be meeting at to-be-designated locations on sunday evenings beginning at 5:30 in the evening to craft. this is a great way to get involved if you don't already knit or crochet, as there will be people there who can help teach you.
and of course, if you have extra skeins of yarn that are going unused, or even just odds and ends that are left over from past projects, donations of materials are especially appreciated.
information on a first, introductory craft session will be posted soon. please send questions and ideas to: chelseacreature@gmail.com.
