Project Linus

At Crochet & Chat yesterday, LibrariAnna did an inventory of the Project Linus squares.... We're almost there!  Monica stepped up to the plate and pledged at least 4 squares and began right then and there! Thank you Anna and Monica!

Thank you also, to the numerous square makers who have contributed to these TWO blankets that will go to Project Linus. 

Today

I'm working feverishly. I have no less than 20 designs waiting to be revealed to you but alas, they haven't been published yet!

Hang in there!

The Project Linus project is coming along GREAT!  It looks like we might have enough Sunny Spread squares to do TWO blankets if everyone keeps coming through with their pledges. We still have room for more people if you would like to participate.  Find all the details here on Ravelry.

Crochet for Charity!

Interested in crocheting for charity?  Some of my Ravelry friends are!  Members of my Ravelry group 'GoCrochet with Ellen Gormley' are organizing a square share... you make as many squares as you want toward the effort and mail them in to be assembled.  This time, the group is considering donating to Project Linus. The National organization supplies new, handmade blankets to children with serious medical conditions or children who were traumatized in some way.  There are 371 chapters in the United States (if you aren't interested at this time, look up your local chapter and consider donating in your area!)

Right now, the Ravelers are discussing which of my free patterns they want to use, then a color scheme will be chosen and a plan made.  If you are interested, please visit the Ravelry group. You'll need to be a Ravelry member to participate in this particular effort with my friends, but it's free.
