Our Socks for Bulgaria campaign brought in 22 pairs of socks that will soon be making their way to children in Bulgaria through Global Knit, CORVA, and the Cedar Foundation.
Another 24 items sent to Global Knit for distribution to the children in Bulgaria and elsewhere included hats, scarves, mittens, tams, wristwarmers, and cowls. Thank you!
What a busy group!
The Innu children in Northern Labrador will soon be warmer thanks to the efforts of our wonderful volunteer knitters and crocheters — and the tremendous distribution efforts of the Warm Hands Network, based in Ottawa, Canada, and The Next Generation Guardians. The Next Generation Guardians is a group of Innu women in Northern Labrador who distribute these warm woolen items in their community.
Thank you!
Team Wool-Aid crossed the finish line with at least 50 projects — many Keep Me Warm Vests and Cozy Toes socks and other lovely items as well — and the team spirit and camaraderie kept many team members knitting and crocheting when they would otherwise have lagged behind.
While it is unclear how many medals were won over the 17-day Ravelympics by Team Wool-Aid, since each project potentially qualified for multiple medals, many medals were won in the following events (and more!):
And our Wool-Aid kids enjoyed themselves tremendously as they made their way around the event venues on their skis!
Congratulations, Everyone!
