Knitting Up a Storm

So...after a long holiday from domesticity, I am back knitting up a storm. I can only make so many scarves and mittens, however, before everyone I know is the proud (or not so proud) owner of my handiwork.

It was until I stumbled upon Knit-a-Square. This organization makes blankets for AIDS orphans in South Africa using donated 8x8 squares sent to them from people all over the world. All you need to do is knit a square using whatever yarn you have, send it off, and it will be used to keep someone warm during the cold winter months. I've been accumulating a small pile of knitted squares in my dining room, waiting until I have enough to send off. They accept donations as little as 3 squares, and as large as...well, no limit really.
