What is Warm Up America?
It’s a group of knitters and crocheters coming together to make afghans for people in need. Oh, but it’s so much more.
Go here for the full scoop:
http://www.warmupamerica.org/whatIsWUA.html
They even have a Kids Warm Up America, where young people are encouraged to get involved in this very worthy cause. What a great way to teach your kids how to knit. The free patterns listed on their pages are very basic, very easy, perfect!
Please go check out their site, hey, I have an idea. you know all of those swatches you’ve made? Why not start with those, add a bit here and then to reach the 7×9 dimensions preferred by Warm Up America and you’ve already got a huge part of it done!
Come to think of it, I have afghan squares already in my stash from a UFOTWNGF (Un Finished Object That Will Never Get Finished), what a great use!
Because now, I have yet another project to do, and, I so want to wear my mossi cardi to Thanksgiving in 5 DAYS, I might want to think about putting in a stitch or two there too!
