While browsing creative sites on the internet I came across the blog of Melissa Langer – Owner of Pug Notes. Totally enthralled by the photographs of knitted lions and elephants, I felt compelled to write about the Knit-A-Square Charity. Visit Melissa’s blog to see the beautiful squares she has knitted in order to contribute to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
I was born and raised in South Africa and know first hand how many suffer from the afflictions of AIDS – how thousands of children are orphaned every year – and how often shelter is not available. My consciousness is always elevated when I see what others are doing to make the world a kinder, gentler place for those less fortunate. Looking at those bright, cheery squares brought such a smile to my face.
What an exciting way to give back and share our energy and artistic talents. Visit the Knit-A-Square Charity website and join me in supporting this fabulous project.
Start knitting!! I will be visiting South Africa at the end of September so mail me your squares and I commit to making sure they reach the Knit-A-Square organizers.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
May the Yarn be with you.
