Soaring Eagles Project

Looking for a good cause? How about knitting for less fortunate school children? Rachel over at Procrastiknitter is looking for lovely people who are willing to knit small projects for the children at her school. These things might be the ONLY things some of these kids get for Christmas.....And it will keep them warm this coming winter in the US. If you would like to help out go HERE!

It will be a bit like "Paying it Forward", doing a wonderful thing without wanting anything back. And just imagine the faces on these school children when they receive a hat or a scarf, or with a little bit of effort both for each child.

A group is going to make 300 scarfs, so that is one for each child, so we all need to get knitting on some beanies or headbands, so each child can receive a scarf and beanie/headband.

So come on all you knitters in this big wonderful world of knitting, lets all get together and make this one of the best things to happen to all the children at this School. And especially for Rachel for putting this great idea out there.

That sounds like a good idea, we would probably have to send them before the end of November to get there in time.
