Craft Hope Project Invitation

I’m sure you are aware of the many, many powerful and destructive tornadoes that have hit the southern United States recently.

I want to invite you to collaborate in creating a security blanket for one of the affected children.

Have you heard about Craft Hope?

“Craft Hope is a love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those who need them. It is our hope to combine our love for crafting and desire to help others into a project to make a difference around the world.”

Their latest project is creating handmade blankets for survivors of the tornadoes and we’re joining in.

I have a very modest goal to propose: One child’s blanket put in the mail by the June 15^th deadline.

 .
.

We need 30 6-inch squares. Would you like to make one or a few?

 .

• Squares must be approximately 6-inches square. Perfection not required!
• Yarn must be cotton or cotton-blend and machine washable. Two examples: KnitPicks‘ selection or yarn such as Lily Sugar’n Cream from a local shop.
• Squares can be any color you like.
• Squares can be crocheted or knit in any pattern you like. The simplest squares are very welcome, as are fancier stitches or patterns like granny squares. Anything!

 .
.

Let’s plan to finish our squares by June 11^th.

I (or a few of us) will attach them into a colorful, made-with-care blanket
soon thereafter.

So, will you join us?

 .

Comment, email, or RSVP on Facebook and tell us how many squares you plan to make.

Thank you.
