A great knitting project!!

Hello Library Knitters,

Our knitting for Covenant House was a big success - valuable to Covenant House and fun for us.

Shawnna Parlongo has great idea for a prject that we could all do together. We talked a bit about this during one of the Koerner knit sessions in November. We could all knit squares, stitch them together and have a beautiful afghan that we could raffle off and send the raffle proceeds to a local charity. If everyone on this email knit one or two squares we could probably make two afghans.

Shawnna found a fantastic pattern that uses yarn available at Urban Yarns (and probably other places too). Have a look at the pattern below. Each square requires 1 ball of Noro Kureyon, $9.95 each.

It would be great if we got busy with this project before the Fall. We'd have more time to show it off and sell lots of raffle tickets!!

If you decide to particpate, please choose any of the Noro Kureyon colours. The multi coloured result will be gorgeous!! Shawnna has worked out a couple of difficult bits on the pattern, so please consult her before you start.

Lastly, we could ask the Human Resources Committee for funding from their 'Funding for Community Event's' pot-of-gold!!

Let me know what you think..............Sara.
