Knit-a-Square

Here’s a great way to knit or crochet for charity, joining “the warmest crafters on earth, to help the children.” I’ve sent in a few squares over the years which others piece together to make beautiful blankets … Knit-a-square has distributed over 90,000 blankets since 2008 to warm and comfort the cold, orphaned or vulnerable children of South Africa.

The gogos (grandmothers) in South Africa are ready to sew your squares together … each blanket is made up of squares from dozens of different countries. That means that when a child wraps themselves up in that blanket, they’re getting a hug from the whole world. A global blanket of love!
