Good News + Miscellany
How about starting to knit again, Saz, my friend in blogland? Maybe a scarf for people in Mongolia where winter is very intense. Lots of people did it-- coast to coast, Canada, Australia. The Dulaan Project collected 12,085 handknits-- at least one item of clothing or a blanket went to more than 12,000 men, women, and children. A year's worth of knitting by many little red hens and a few roosters. Time to begin the 2007 accumulation.
More at Mossy Cottage Knits, Ryan's blog from Seattle. There's even a tiny photo of little Mongolian children as they wear the latest shipment. I could swear the brown and orange hat is the one Ron knit. Of course, it could be someone else's very original color combo.

Emaile from my friend, Steve Hill, "... recently found good news about New Orleans: http://www.justiceclothing.com/thereis/justice/kgordon where
I ordered some shirts made in a unionized factory
that reopened there! (It's difficult to find ethical
clothing that appears conventional enough for the
office, so this site is handy.)"

Naomi,
Thank you for posting about the Dulaan Project. What a great project and this is the first I have heard of such a charity.
I will be happy to participate in the 2007 project and yeah I now have good projects to use up my extra balls of yarn. Maybe a hat like Bill designed for our hosts at camp.

Great idea Naomi and even better I realized I have some Noro scarves (Kureyon and very colorful) I already knitted and put away...those are coming out and going to this project!
I have such a stash of yarn....this sparks my interest.
Thanks.
