Remember that ice bucket challenge a few years ago to raise money and awareness for ALS research? Well, St. Jude Children's Hospital is doing lots of different challenges ...and in March they are doing KNITTING. 
They are just asking for you to sign up, share with your friends and family, show the progress as you knit, celebrate when you finish and you can choose what to do with it at the end. I'm thinking I'll do a baby blanket and donate to a local children's hospital!!! Or maybe give away something adorable to the highest donor...we shall see!
If you would like to join me, go to https://www.stjude.org/get-involved/other-ways/facebook-challenges.html
I will say, I joined the FB group and there were SOOO many people not understanding how it worked and so much chatter that I had to remove myself from the group. It's NOT going to stop me from fundraising in March, but I won't be hanging out in the FB group!
Here is a group just for A Little Knitty!!!
Thank you for explaining this challenge. I had seen it on Facebook, but they didn't explain what the challenge was (until after you signed up). I won't sign up unless I plan on doing the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI don’t knit but I do crochet. Since the first of the year I have crocheted about 45 hats in various sizes. Would you be interested in me making some for your kids? They are easy to care for as they can be tossed in the washer and dryer when needed.
