KNITTING FOR AFRICA -- KNIT A SQUARE FOR BLANKETS FOR CHILDREN IN AFRICA WHOSE PARENTS DIED OF AIDS

Who cares?

Me,
Hee Hee Hee

and me!

So, where do you send them, after they are made?
I didn't see an address on the site.
I'm wondering too, if it HAS to be wool.
I have tons of scarp yarn around here, but not all of it contains wool, some are just nice fine Acryllics.

I'd love to help, as I have the time and materials to do so...would be a nice way to use up all those scraps in the yarn closet...:)

send them blankets laced with anthrax ..LOL

do they accept pot-holders?

I care but i can't knit for shit.

That's a really un-cool statement ...like it wasn't enough to give the Indians blankets with Small Pox.
I don't normally say stuff like this...but, you suck !
What a nasty, hard hearted thing to say, when these are abandoned sick babies and children!
Heart of stone....or none at all.

what a stupid and useless charity. stop wasting peoples time with a fail atttempt at a ticket to heaven. it doesnt get cold in africa where they live and they cant eat a blanket. send them 5 bucks if you really wanna make a diff.

Its not my fault they cant keep their legs together.

They'll probably wrap the dead in them. pretty colors...

There's actually lots of groups like this. why are the children unclothed? Why is South Africa such a shithole?

hahaha.. thats made my day. thanks.

dont bother with 5bucks, weve got plenty roaming the african plains.

and wtf is this cold thing ure talking about?

DOOS.

wtf u going on about. clothing is overrated. gets in the way when were hunting tigers.

Or, How about everyone chip in and rent an Fing Uhaul and move them some place that has something besides dirt, for God sakes.

There's no tigers in the entire continent except in zoos. Then why do the children need blankets?

no tiggers in aficca

And feed them Sally Struthers, they could eat for weeks.

what?????????
dude, dont be ignorant. i have to tie myself to tree tops before i go to sleep so tigers wont ravage me if i fall down while im sleeping.

also: the kids need blankets so that we can cover the dirt otherwise the dirt goes all into our laptops and makes everything broken.

u know... sometimes... glp... ai kona, u amaze me.

didnt u guys go to school?

I can't believe the number of people on here, making jokes about Orphaned Children.
Y'all are a bunch of sick assholes, for real!
To have NO COMPASSION what-so-ever, for suffering childern is beyond repugnant behaviour.
Y'all must not have a Soul, to make jokes about this.
These children didn't ask to be born, or orphaned...they have done nothing to deserve such hate directed towards them.
Your behaviour is just disgusting!!!
Shame on you all!

Sweet, thanks for the info. Our homeschool co op has a big knitting group..amazing how many teenage boys will join a knitting group if there are lots of teenage girls in it! lol

anyway, we have been doing another blanket charity, and are always open to new suggestions!

Thanks, OP!


I have also noticed the increase in male knitters at the college level here..I see them at the coffee shops, knitting socks. too cute!

why not send bricks to make a flat.

Shit-A-Brick, the charity that cares
