Knit-Your-Bit-A-Thon

Hi Nifty Knitters,

I haven’t posted an entry in awhile but it’s time.  I want to tell you about our Knit-Your-Bit-A-Thon happening here at the museum on Sunday, May 18^th.

Here’s a link for the flyer: http://www.nationalww2museum.org/education/knitting.pdf  If you’re not in the drive area to New Orleans and want to host a Knit-Your-Bit-A-Thon in your area, talk to me, let me know, let’s work together to make it happen.  Any pledges collected will be used for shipping that it costs us here at the museum to get your scarves out to vets.  I have great volunteers that attach labels with your names and locations and get them all packaged up to be sent.  But more importantly than money raised is just more awareness raised for charity knitting and this project in particular.

I’m excited that it’s getting warm out, but I’m glad that I have this great knit event first!

Scarf update: they’re still coming in, a little more slowly as the weather gets warmer, but I’m still seeing neat scarves and I’m sending them on to vets.  So if you have some extra yarn or want to knit/crochet a scarf:  Please, do so!  I’d loooooove getting packages from you all!
