Yes, times suck rig...Hey, thanks for the shoutout! Yes, times suck right now, and I'm so over it! Knits For Needs is going strong, though. So far this year we have donated over 400 items to people in need throughout the US!! Funds to pay for shipping has been the main concern, but people have really pitched in and I think we'll have enough for the rest of the shipping we'll do this winter season, I hope, at least. I monetized our blog in the hopes that we'd raise funds that way, and it does work, but it doesn't pay out until you reach $100, which will take awhile. I try to encourage people to click away. Again, thanks for mentioning Knits For Needs, and we do hope you'll join our efforts!Knits For Needshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076861612104853330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706329336233473236.post-73880330175756684642009-11-17T13:56:25.755-05:002009-11-17T13:56:25.755-05:00I agree. I was disappointed when I got the email ...I agree. I was disappointed when I got the email from WW saying they were closing down. They were my favorite knitting charity. I also knit for Children In Common, but they've been cutting back as well. They don't do the trips overseas anymore. Afghans for Afghans is still around, but I dont' like shipping items in bulk. I worry it will be detained and sold off in the black market. I really liked the one on one appeal of CIC and WW. Oh well. I will keep my eyes open for another charity that calls my name and keep knitting socks and hats for the charity bins in my closet. Eventually I will find one I love and then I will have a TON to send them. Meanwhile my kitty afghans will get more priorities.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660761635166286074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706329336233473236.post-29565931945426328242009-11-17T11:58:40.986-05:002009-11-17T11:58:40.986-05:00Well said.
I agree....and will continue to follow...Well said.<br /><br />I agree....and will continue to follow suit.<br /><br />LOVE it, thanks for sharing. Go forth and conquer with your positivity. I keep hoping if it's poured out there enough, it'll help. That and ass patting. (think sports, football, coach pats ass and sends player back in game) There is so not enough of that. So, I'm going to continue throwing that out there. Life's too short!SimplyMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628150221082984936noreply@blogger.com
