Responding to the Knit-Signal

The Yarn Harlot has thrown up her version of the bat signal: the knit-signal. She’s asking for knitters to come together and help out Haiti.

She asked for knitters to come together and donate money to Doctors Without Borders under the umbrella of Knitters Without Borders.

I wanted to donate some money to the Haiti relief effort, anyway, and I thought this was a good idea, so I gave what I could. I live in Los Angeles, where a massive earthquake is an everyday possibility. If a quake this devastating hit L.A., I’d be relying on relief groups like Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross to help me. So I knew I had to give what I could.

Now it’s your turn. Check out the original post for all details.

Also, this seems like a good time to give you an update on Knitters for Kiva.

I’m pleased to report that the lending group has grown to include six generous lenders! We’ve already lended $150 as a group! And it’s never too late to join up!
