"MITT-athon"
Since Mitt Romney is the 2012
Republican Nominee I am holding a 'MITT-athon for
Charity' and
I would love for all
of you mitten makers to participate, whether or not you are voting
for Govenor Romney; in fact we have participants now from all over the
world! Your joining in to make mittens is not
necessarily a show of support for him; BUT it can be a show of support
if you feel that in your heart. Either way is fine. He knows nothing of
this project and I am certainly not going to ask you who you are voting
for!July 4th- November 6th 2012-- great job all!  Thanks
to everyone who participated. Please keep helping others! Remember to email me with your mitten numbers! (You can still do this till Nov 20th)  This world can be a very cold place for many, but if you knit or crochet, you can personally be a part of helping warm the world for someone! I'd like to see individuals knitting and crocheting colorful, warm mittens, and charity groups forming to knit and crochet, 1000's of pairs of mittens that can be donated to your local charities. PLACES TO DONATE MITTENS: Check with your local schools, family shelters, foster care programs, soup kitchens, Police and Fire Stations as they often have to rescue people who will need warm mittens. Sign me up for the Mitt-athon!

then find local places who need mittens. You can check with
hospitals who might need the newborn size, shelters, and local schools
to see if they have a need for mittens. If you can't find a local
place to donate your
handmade mittens, click here to find several places who can use
your donations to help others.This is a great project to do with your
friends! Get together once a week or so. Have a potluck
lunch, share yarns, patterns, and know-how and just knit or crochet
away. Let's warm as many hands as we can this winter. And
don't forget to share photos, as I woud be happy to feature them on
this page as we get rolling along!
