Start a New hobby this January that will help others :
Love Squared Charity https://www.love-squared.org/how-to-help/
Love-Squared is in need of knitters and crochets to make squares to become patchwork afghans for our homeless children.
We need 8 inch squares made from any color and pattern. Since these squares are for a child’s afghan, think soft, cuddly, and easily washable. Please do not use perfumes, dryer sheets, scented additions when mailing squares. It gets to be quite overpowering during shipping.
This is a great stash buster project and a great way to practice a new stitch or learn to knit! 8 inches, That’s all it takes
I found this great organization when we did a school drive in Michigan . And shared it with our local Women’s club here. Lisa
