Last spring I knit some heavy pullovers. Lost the pattern, but have Brown Sheep Burly Spun super bulky for more. Want knit from bottom up in larger sizes for this campaign - about size 14-16. Have been unable to far to find one online.
Now that temperatures are falling it'll be nice to switch from sox to sweaters. :-)
If you can help, please email me at vicio@visi.com
Thanks and happy knitting.

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.

This one looks like it should work (I did a Ravelry search). I haven't made it myself, thought, so have no inside knowledge. Make sure you get the whole URL; it ends with =us:

Vici, do you mean the pattern that was previously posted to this blog? It is at:

I have used this pattern with much success:
