Introducing Myself

Hello,

My name is Sarah, and I just joined LovePurl. I really need some motivation and accountability in my projects. As soon as I finish knitting my pretty-purple-shawl-that-doesn't-look-like-the-pattern, I'm going to knit some squares for Warm Up America; my local craft store has a collection box for the squares.
One of these days I'll get around to e-mailing Lollypop Farm to see if they are part of the Snuggles Project. I may also do some knitting for the Mother Bear Project. The trouble is, the knitting projects that I plan are way ahead of my needles. I guess I'll see what happens after I finish the next 3 or 4 projects I have lined up. :)

Stitches For Love

This past year, I haven't spent as much time as I'd hoped knitting for my favorite charity Warm Woolies. I have a giant rubbermaid tub spilling over with yarn that is just begging to be knit into something to keep a little one warm through a long and frosty winter. So now that the time for resolutions is almost upon us once again, I have decided to set a goal for myself for 2008. I would like to knit 100 pieces next year for Warm Woolies and have them sent off by next December.

And I would love to have you keep me company! Though I'll be knitting for Warm Woolies, you are welcome to join me in knitting for any charity that you enjoy contributing to (there are a few in the sidebar if you need some ideas). Set some goals for yourself, or just knit with what you have and contribute where you can. And of course, crocheters are welcome as well :) Though I'm setting a goal for myself, and setting up this KAL to keep me accountable, I'd love to have anyone that enjoys knitting for charity join me here and share what they're working on too.

I hope to meet you back here on January 1st to share the love!
