Sandy Craftalong

When I found out about this project on twitter, I was immediately all in! Two NYC-based bloggers organized this craftalong to make warm items to donate to people who were affected by Sandy. These items can be knit, crocheted, or sewn and can be any of of the following: hats, scarves, mittens/gloves, blankets, sweaters or socks. They’re looking to collect donations and give them out as soon as possible, so if you have the time and resources to spare, I highly encourage you to participate! Take a look at the two items I made below (Alex and I think they look like a squash and a bell pepper, haha) and click here to find out all the details!
