And we did it!! That's right, we're now at 478 items!! Great job everybody!!
You have until midnight tonight to post an item to get entered into our skein of yarn drawing. That's tons of time to get a preemie hat done!
Our drive of the month for March will be Afghans for Angels. You can find out information about the organization here: http://www.angelfire.com/ia2/AforApage2/
The purpose of this organization is to make and distribute homemade afghans to give to parents who have suffered the unthinkable -- the loss of a child. They usually ask for afghans that are 2x2 but they also accept 12" x 12" afghans for preemies.
It is a humbling thing to focus on this group, but that is what we are all about -- doing things for those people who need us most.
Again, of course, continue to do whatever you wish throughout March. We are always happy to see what you are up to!
For the end of March, let's try and get to 800 items. That's a big goal, but I'll bet we can do it!
Great job, everyone.
