Knit One Save One
My name is Esther and I have a passion for craft, knitting and sewing. I need your help with a community project. I want to start a knitting and sewing community that makes items to donate to charity.
How it works
At least 100 people involved in the community, with each person to make at least one item to donate to the Save the Children foundation. After, each person will be sent a thank you card.
The benefits:
- Connection among people with a common interest
- Contribution to children in need
- A revitalisation of knitting and sewing
How you can help
- Knit a 20 cm square for the Knit one Save One appeal or knit or sew a toy or article of clothing
- Either knit or sew by yourself or by getting a group of friends together
- Send squares or items to Level 4, 388 George St, NSW 2000 by March 20, 2010 with your name and address
- Or, contact Esther who can come and speak to people interested in becoming involved
- include your contact details to receive a card of thanks
Most of the blankets will be sent to India where hypothermia is a serious issue for newborns, particularly those with low birth weight. Wool is preferred because it is fire retardant. Sew 16 (4 x 4) squares together to make a blanket for a baby or child.
