Warm Up America - Follow Up

Today, I went to Michael's and crocheted a couple rectangles to donate with my sister - in - law. She got a free lesson on how to create one of these. I learned a bit about how Michael's does this charity.  It turns out you can make rectangles all year and drop them off. The event teacher told us they usually deliver the donation in December and then again after the New Year. This is the perfect charity for all those leftover skeins! I'll definitely be making these throughout the year.

Warm Up America - Michaels Event Nov 16th

To all needle-workers and those inspiring to be:

My sister-in-law told me about this. Michaels is hosting an event where all you have to do is make rectangles (knit or crochet) and they go towards creating blankets for those in need. Michaels will be teaching newbies how to make rectangles at some locations or you can drop off any rectangles you've completed. What an easy and helpful project! Go to the Michaels site for more details and to find a store near you. 

With the weather getting colder it makes me want to warm up my hooks and there's no better reason than for a good cause. This will be my first year participating and you should do it with me!
