The premise of the project is to make 12 separate donations, one to each of 12 different charitable organizations of your choice.
And this .....*queue Law and Order music* ..... is my update.
Overall Progress: 3 / 12 donations made. Read on for more details.
OK - this is my seventh post in the 12 for 12 Project.
| 1. | Knitted Knockers Website Link My Pattern | Made 4 Donated 0 | I kinda slacked off on this one. I started with a gusto and have several knockers crocheted up using my pattern; however, after not getting much interest here locally, I just haven't sent the donation into the main knitted knockers program. That will end very soon. I'm going to follow-up one more time here and if I get nothing back, then I'm going to just mail them off. |
| 2. | Special Olympics Scarf Project Website Link | Made 2 Donated 0 | Project on hold until the fall. |
| 3. | SIBOL Website Link | Made 20+ Donated 0 | I am continuing to make progress on this one. I have not mailed in any squares, but I will most likely have well over 50 in the box by the time I'm done. I am figuring I'll do 2 mailings this year. I need to find a cut off date and just send them at that time and then start making more. For those of you who do send squares to SIBOL - do you weave in your ends? |
| 4. | Hooked on a Cause Website Link | Made 0 Donated 0 | I have only identified this charity. I have not begun sending anything (although I desperately need to! |
| 5. | Local Animal Shelters - Local APL | Made 4 Donated 4 | Basically, whenever I have some scrap yarn, I'm sending them off to the shelters listed to the left. |
| 6. | Washcloths for Tornado Victims | Made 6 Donated 6 | A woman in my crochet group was gathering cloths for another friend who lived in Tennessee. The friend in Tennessee had mentioned gathering and donating small items like washcloths to those affected by tornadoes in her area. I had several and made the donation. It was small but I know to someone, its a huge help. |
| 7. | DonorsChoose.org Web Link | LOTS! | I contemplated not counting this as a donation, but I figured in a way it was. I recently participated in a Bean Bag Tournament at work aimed to raise money for DonorsChoose.org (an awesome website if you have never been). I decided to crochet dishcloths and coasters as thank you gifts to people who sponsored our team. In the end, I cannot tell you how many I made and gave away, but I can tell you that it was enough that our team won a trophy for most cash collected. So while I did not donate my crochet directly, it definitely helped raise plenty of money for a fantastic website helping teachers fund classroom projects. I felt pretty good about that in the end. |
