Here are some great socks that Patricia sent in. I did a close-up of my favorite pair. Patricia, we are packing like crazy and will get these in the boxes.
We are gathering and shipping hand-knit hats, socks, mittens, gaitors, sweaters and blankets (no scarves please!) for 2 great causes:
1. We are shipping to Innu children of Northern Labrador. These items will be distributed throughthe a collective of Innu women in the communities themselves. We are putting together a Christmas shipment, and our deadline is September 31st, 2009. They especially need stuff for kids aged 5 to 15, but they would also like baby blankets and items for the younger set. Our second shipment will be on January 31st, 2009. 2. We are shipping to Mongolia throughthe Dulaan Project. These items can be wool or wool blend, very warm (-40 degrees temperations), and for any age. The shipping deadline is March 31st, 2009.
We collect in Ottawa and Toronto, through our yarn stores and special events (see below for more information). You can mail or drop off your items there. If you have a specific project to which you would like to contribute, please let us know, by attaching a label to your item. If you provide your name or contact info, we'll post a picture of your item on this site!
