So, this charity takes things knit or crocheted for people and sells them to raise money for pet charities. Also cool.
If you follow my personal blog, you will probably know that pet issues like abuse, neglect, overpopulation, euthanasia, etc. are things that I take very seriously and care very deeply about. So I was excited to find this charity.
I have to say there “if you ever make a blanket for a shelter animal you must credit us because we were the first ones to ever come up with the idea” stance was kind of off putting. I know of several other charities that have been around a very long time that make blankets for shelter animals, so I kinda doubt that they were the first ones to think of it, but the idea is still good and they seem very organized and streamlined.
I like these too. I need to practice crochet again after my Christmas knitting is done.

This is fantastic and I think I might be able to manage it with my meager crochet skills.

I knit for this charity. I grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, so this outreach means a lot to me. I remember the poverty when I was a kid, and it struck me then. It is even worse now. Government doesn’t even acknowledge that a problem exists. The people in West Virginia that are in the depths of poverty are relying on charity almost exclusively. The problems of poverty will no go away unless we all do something about it.
Here is the contact info if you want to help out:
Appalachian Outreach, Inc 1012 Grandview Rd. Glen Dale, WV 26038 http://www.appalachianoutreaching.org
They will accept pretty much anything, so if you would like to craft for charity, this is a great place to send your stuff.

They are indeed enablers, but I don’t have any money!!!!! I get paid Friday the 31st, but I could never get there before they close.
This totally bummed me out.
Knit and crocheted furniture makes me so happy! This crochet porch pouf is super awesome.
A eukaryote cell. Crocheted by me, pattern by Jessica Polka. I would like to make more of these. Could be used as a study aid, maybe?
For sure!
In today’s Worsted for Wear, knitters and crocheters perceive things differently.
I love this one.
We attended two weddings the past two weekends, and I wanted to share the special wedding cards I made with you! I used some special Japanese paper I picked up in Tokyo and added crocheted hearts (pattern found here) for embellishments!
I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE these!
About me
I wanted a place to post my projects and inspirations. This is it. I'm primarily a knitter and baker, but I also spin, dye, craft, and cook. Find me on Ravelry as scitchet.
