In case anyone has any doubts about whether or not you can make a difference just by crafting, check out this site for the Penguin Jumper Project in Australia. So many people knitted jumpers for these little buggers that the number received far exceeded the number of penguins that needed some extra clothing!
I go back and forth between making things for people and things for animals. And lately I’ve been thinking that my yarn stash (that has been growing exponentially) needs some depleting, so whipping out some blankets for the Snuggles Project, because even though those penguins are well-stocked, there are some domestic puppies and kittens that need a bit of love, too.
Or maybe I’ll make some furry little bears to send to the Mother Bear Project, which collects fuzzy companions for young victims of rape in South Africa.
Either way, I’ll be making stuff that will be given and received with a little bit of TLC. Bitchin’.
Oh my gosh, I need to make a snuggles blanket. I love cats so much and to think of a creature being cold and uncomfortable like that makes me wanna pee my pants, or cry, or both. this is an awesome website, by the way. awesome idea.
