Hugs for Haiti

Dear Fellow Knitters,

Thank you so much for participating in the “Hugs for Haiti”. I have received so many colorful and beautiful squares to be made into blankets for the Haitian people! To offer them a little softness in a day of despair means so much.
I will continue collecting squares until April 16^th, 2010.

Sincerely,
Elena

We’ve given Elena three large bundles of squares for Hugs for Haiti and now we’re in the finale week with the basket half full please stop by and drop off any that you have ready!

Thanks again to everyone,
Julie

Hugs for Haiti

A dear customer Elena Horak has join the Hugs for Haiti group on Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/groups/hugs-for-haiti----haitian-earthquake-relief
And would like everyone to know that she will be the contact person here in Santa Barbara to mail off all the blocks that are made and dropped off here at Knit & Pearl.
In her e-mail to me she said; “While on Ravelry I found this group "Hugs for Haiti" and was immediately drawn to it. They are accepting squares (either knit or crochet) to make into blankets that will be given to the earthquake victims in Haiti. Please join me in creating squares for this very worthwhile project. (I seem to have a need to feed people or make things, whatever that means). I will be picking up your squares at Knit and Pearl and sending them on.”
I think I'll call our Santa Barbara group: Hip to Be Square!
Thank you
Elena Horak
The group is asking for knitted and crochet squares in any sizes and fiber. We do ask that you label the squares so they’ll be able to sort them by fiber before assembling the blankets.
Thank you Elena for taking this on!
