Special Rwanda Knits Auction

April 23, 2007 |

Have you ever wondered what happens to the fabulous Caron and Bond garments you see in the pages of your favorite knit and crochet magazines? Or from “Ultimate Knitting” magazine? Or in Caron’s ads? Or Bond ads? Or on the pattern pads? Or on the Caron website? Would you like to own one of these originals? Perhaps one by Heidi Stepp, Kathy Perry, Nicky Epstein, Gayle Bunn or Doris Chan? A signed lithograph by Mary Engelbright? Now, through the Rwanda Knits Project online auction, you can own one of those “star” garments or lithos and help knitting cooperatives in Rwanda at the same time! What a perfect Mother’s Day gift!

The auction begins at 11 p.m. EST on Friday, April 20 and will conclude at 11 p.m. on Sunday, April 29. All proceeds go toward purchasing yarn for Rwanda’s 17 knitting cooperatives.

RWANDA KNITS provides hand-operated, American-made knitting machines, technical and business training to Rwandan and refugee women living in Rwanda to enable them to increase their incomes through economically sustainable knitting cooperatives, producing garments for both the domestic and export markets.
