Let's work together on our projects for afghans for Afghans.
It's a knit-along; it's a crochet-along!

This one's for Ann
Ann keeps asking for people in the pictures. I know she means holding up the items, but at my knitting group tonight they insisted I try on the pullover I was showing them. The colours are not correct (see previous post where they are more accurate) as it was taken with a phone camera. Yes, I am petite enough to model a child's sweater! The others in my group thought I should keep it, but I'll get too warm in this much wool.
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.

Nice to meet you at last Margo Lynn! great photo!
I agree with your knitting mates - the sweater looks great on you! But it will look just as great on the child who receives it.
Great that you sent a photo of yourself -- I'm going to try to do so, too.
The sweater comes alive!
XOXOXOXO Ann
