Thank you for your responses!
I announced this blog on Knit-U and the knitlist yesterday, and have already had an overwhelming response. A few visitors posted comments, but many others wrote to me privately. Here's a small sample of the encouragement I've received:
"What a great idea. Well done. I've been trying to set up a similar thing for children's orphanages in China." -- Best of luck! This is a terrific idea.
"I enjoyed looking at your blog, and want to thank you and support what you are trying to do. I started a knitting/crochet group at my church four years ago. It worked -- in the past four years, we've made over 4000 items for people -- and have women and girls knitting and crocheting from ages 12 to 85!" -- Congratulations! Keep up the good work.
"Please feel free to visit my site and link to whatever you need: www.charitablecrafters.org" -- Thank you for sharing this link. This site has lots of great information for kntiters, crocheters, sewers, quilters, and even soap makers! A great resource.
"I went to your new blog and it looks fantastic...You have some great ideas." -- Thank you! Please enjoy the site and feel free to share it with others.
Several people have also asked if they could pass the link along to their friends and other knitting groups. Yes, certainly! You may also print copies of the information and patterns on this site to use in your community and charity knitting as long as you include my name and the blog URL (Donna Druchunas, http://www.sheeptoshawl.com/charity) on the printed copies.
