Knitting for Katrina victims
I don’t knit. Oh, I’ve tried. I’ve made the ugliest little dishcloths you can imagine — every row in a different gauge, and some stitches so tight that the dishcloths could almost stand up by themselves. It’s just not my thing. One of these days Dyslexia and I are going to have a Crappy Knit-Off to determine who is the crappier knitter. Smart money’s on me.
But if it’s your thing, you might want to knit this cute little bear, a scarf, a sweater, whatever, and send it to people who’ve lost just about everything in Hurricane Katrina. There’s a new yahoo group, katrinaknitting, made up of people who are working on this project.

I just followed your link to that Yahoo group and joined it. Thanks–I had already sent off what little financial donation I could afford, so having some other tangible way I can help (in addition to firing off emails and faxes at my Congresscritters) is pretty darn theraputic.
