call out to the knitters on my f-list

[the_siobhan]

Somebody on the Toronto LJ community is calling out for donations of yarn, needles, whatever people are not using for a knitting club that has just started at one of our inner city schools.

They have a waiting list of kids who want to join and nowhere near enough supplies for all of them. So any donations will be most welcome.

Contact info for the people organizing this is in the community post.

(Maybe I could get them to knit me a life-sized version of one of these.)

You might want to let them know to contact Lion Brand Yarn. I know someone who asked for donations of yarns from them for an after school program at an inner city school. The yarn company sent them *tons* of things...from yarns, to patterns, to accessories. IIRC, she also got donations of needles and stuff from Susan Bates Comapany.

They may not want to ship across the border, but I'll pass the info on.

Thanks!
