What a fun project:Knit A River.
Sponsored by a London yarn shop, the goal of the project is to raise awareness with WaterAid about the lack of clean water for 1.1 billion people around the world. They are gathering 6″x6″ knit squares of blue that some blessed souls at the store will sew together to create a yarn river.
They’ll be accepting squares of any pattern or fiber into January. A nice way to use up any extra blue yarn from Christmas projects…
Finished squares can be sent to: I Knit, Knit A River, 7 Courthope House, Hartington Road, London, SW8 2HS.
If you are not a knitter, but would still like to help, please consider making a donation to WaterAid.
