Calling all the Mistress' of yarn

Hi all,
wanted to pass on a note from the Lint news letter if anyone wants to participate.

Magic Mittens and Mufflers for Mongolian Children.

Can you imagine living somewhere that the average winter temperature is -13F and heat may or may not be available? Now imagine you are a child that has been abandoned by your parents without food, money or resources. Imagine living on the streets in subzero temperatures or amidst the maze of dark sewers and heating pipes that bring hot water to the city, where it is just a little warmer.

Unfortunately, this scenario is not uncommon in the capital of Mongolia, Ulaan Baatar.

We are gathering hand knit (or crocheted) mittens, gloves and scarves (mufflers) from around the world to send to The Lotus Children's Centre. The centre was established to provide housing, food, education and basic resources to abandoned children in Ulaan Baatar.

You can send your magic mittens, mufflers and gloves to:

Sue Anderson

2445 N.W. Westover Rd. 3501

Portland Or, 97221

We handle shipping and distribution. For more info e-mail at

sue.unkelaw@verizon.net

I would like this a step further. If you aren't "crafty" but would like to help e-mail me and you can pay for materials and I will enlist the help of the Creative Persons Project to do the work. After Christmas sales on yarn are awesome. I know fabric Depot is having a 35 percent off yarns the week after Christmas.

Rawk on people.
