[Steppes] OT - Project to help NYC

[Catherine Sims]

Please forgive the bandwidth, but I think this is a good cause.  I am trying to
organize a collection of hand-made items to send up to NYC.  Anyone who is
interested, make something and donate it!  I am particularly interested in
blankets, as those are not size specific and can be used for many different
sized people.  The Woolie Ewe in Plano has graciously agreed to be my
collection point.  I have been about to burst, wanting to do something useful
to help, and I think that this is a good idea.  I have left a message with the
Red Cross to find out what items they want specifically, but I think anything
we can send would be good.  Anything is welcome, weaving, crochet, knitting,
sewing, whatever, but I would recommend machine-washable so that the recipient
doesn't have to worry about special care.

No pressure, no quotas, just anything you care to donate will be welcome!
In Service,
Arianne
