OK, this time it's you, Cyndy!! Send me your address by emailing me at yarnystuff [at] gmail [dot] com -- using the correct symbols. It'll go out to you right away, because it's already been pining away in the box for 5 days.
Enjoy it! It'll be fast, and it's so thick and warm.

Let's work together on our projects for afghans for Afghans.
It's a knit-along; it's a crochet-along!
Current Campaign
Our 2016 campaign was completed the first week of August 2016. Our wool gifts were successfully transported and distributed by NGO Trust in Education.
Please check our website or join our email list for announcements and updates.
Update August 2017:
Unfortunately, we do not have plans for a new campaign at this time because of hurdles with logistics. We'll do our best to solve, but nothing promising yet. Thank you for participating while we had the opportunity!
THE BASICS
afghans for Afghans is a people-to-people project that knits and crochets wool garments as a practical gesture of friendship and respect for the people of Afghanistan. In partnership with the San Francisco office of the American Friends Service Committee, our project started in late 2001 in response to the war that unfolded after 9/11. This follows a long-time tradition of knitting for others at times of war and crisis. Afghan families still need to know that we care. Join us here for camaraderie, inspiration, and mutual support with projects.

I'm sorry that Irene couldn't be found. I look forward to working on my next blanket with this yarn.
Thank you Elizabeth. You are very generous to share! Cyndy
