The Current to Kindness
It's the little things
that keep the current moving-
That help lift the silt from the bottom
and turn it into mountains to stand upon-
That propels us forward
with momentum-
It's the current of kindness
that gets us to our destinations,
keep it moving
so we can go on. . .

What a wonderful idea. I'd love to take part.
I'm already involved with several charity projects, I'd love to share ideas here.
Count me in! Sounds like a wonderful idea!
Put me on the list. 25 is a daunting number to me, but I will try my best (besides, if I have all of you to encourage me, I can do it).

Just a quick question - can it be for a charity or charities someone already donates to, or is that considered cheating?
Sign me up, too. My blog is lynxslair@blogspot.com
Count me in on this one! I have been trying to get busy and crochet for charity...hopefully things will calm down for me so I can do so! This will give me some added incentive to get find this time!
Great idea! Count me in on this one.
I'd love to join. I am mainly a charity stitcher (cross stitched squares for kids quilts) but I love to craft! I have tons of craft books screaming out to me!
I'm interested!!!
Sign me up!
I saw this on Dianne's blog and you can count me in! I am - sadly - not a terrifically handy person, but I can cross stitch.
What about other non-tangible charity donations? Like volunteering?
Great initiative, and I'm happy to be a cog in the wheel!
Great idea, count me in! I've already crocheted some items for the Snuggle project, Squares 4 Survivors, and my own similar idea of making winter hats for families in need to donate to my church. It's nice to make it official!
I knit and crochet for Warm the World and I have already made 18 items, I would love to join...
Count me in!
I would like to join, how do i do it?
thank you
I'd love to join this. Louise of http://www.crochetthebluesaway.blogspot.com told me about your project and I'm thrilled to join.
I think this is a wonderful idea. I'd love to particpate!
I'd like to join in too! I have quite a bit of yarn, but need some quick & easy patterns. Anyone know of any good charities in Texas?
I would love to join too! Thanks to Barbara from Mainely Stitching, who led me to this blog :o)
Hi Cindy,
I think this is a great idea. I don't know exactly how it works, but this is what I have in mind. I own a cross stitch shop in the Netherlands and would like to stitch 25 scissor fobs over the next year. Then in November I will put them up for auction, both in the shop and on the website and will donate the profits to a Dutch charity (I have yet to decide which one that'll be). Would that be within the spirits of this group?

I would love to join this group. I'm already a member of Crafting For A Cause but an extra 2 items a month is certainly easy enough to do. My e-mail is Sakkasie @ hotmail.com

Hello! I just posted my own blog re: my mom and her battle w/breast cancer. I have been selling crocheted baby blankets to make $ to send her on a trip. So, since my hands are never idle-I would like to assist you in this cause!! Please let me know what I need to do....I am not too crafty, but I can make nice, beautiful and warm afghans, scarves, sweaters, etc of all kinds!!! Best of luck and looking forward to helping!!
Kellie,
I left a comment on your blog requesting your e-mail address. Please send it to me so I can get you started.

I'd like to get involved with this.
I found your blog when I followed a link in a post from one of my Yahoo groups. I knit and crochet and I have made many granny square afghans. Besides the afghans, I make hats and scarfs. I'd like to do this in 2006. My e mail address is LittleWuffMe@yahoo.com. Count me in! I have lots of yarn that need to be made into something.
I'd love to join. This will be great incentive to get some charity knits done!
Hello! I found you on Crochetville and I'd love to join! I think this will be a nice opportunity to learn how to make some things I don't know how to make yet, like booties and hats.
What a great idea! The perfect combination of two of my favorite things: Service and crocheting!
Please, count me in!

I have already sent 9 diaper shirts and 7 hats to preemie protectors and 2 12" squares to Drew. Today I finished 10 more hats for preemie protectors that I plan on sending out tomorrow. I have also send out grannie daughters and this weekend on my three hour drive to visit my grandson for his birthday I plan on working on some more.
Please count me in. I've been knitting prayer shawls (3 completed), but it's good to have some accountability to get them done!

What a great community! Count me in.
Hi - I was already doing some knitting for a couple of charities - this site will help keep me motivated and counting!
I am looking, though, for some sewing patterns for hats for chemo/radiotherapy patients. Can anyone help me out with some pattern links. I have just spent a couple of hours on the net searching link after link and have 2 patterns - neither of which really does anything for me! That two hours could be better spent with needles in my hands, so if anyone can shortcut the process for me, I would really appreciate it!
Hi! I just found out about this via Whip-up, and I'd love to join!
Are you still taking members? I would love to join you. Is it crochet only, or can we knit some? My email is joanmahony@yahoo.com.au
This is a wonderful idea! I lead a group of 25 women locally and another 25 across the country who knit and crochet for people served by the North Park Friendship Center, a food pantry serving over 3000 of the neediest of the needy on the northwest side of Chicago. Our group is called Crafty Angels, and last year we made over 2000 hats, scarves, mittens, shawls, blankets, and baby things which were distributed to the Friendship Center's families. Our goal this year is to make over 3000 items, and I think we are well on our way.
Using your special gifts for those in need is indeed special, because it benefits not only the recipient of your handcrafted gift, but also you. God not only commands us to care for the less fortunate, but He also says that he will bless those who bless others. Doing something that gives you joy, and will ultimately bring joy to others, is just a win-win all around!
Thank you for starting this blog - it is great to get new ideas! I'd like to join up!

Hi, I'd like to join in!
I love knitting and crochet. All my family and friends have had my work so I decided to carry on crochetting a blanket I have been working on for about a year. I have plenty more wool. But what I want to know is how do I get these to the Charity concerned?
I would love to join this! I used to knit and sew for Stiches of Love and this will get me going again. My email address is

I'd like to join. I use to knit and crochet but I am so addicted to Cross stitch that I do that. I do a lot of projects for charity so would love to join in.
Excellent idea! I am always in for helping others with my handmade items.

thanks for organzining this!
Right now I'm starting a sweater for afghans for afghans (http://afghansforafghans.org/900kids.html), a hat for dulaan, and a red scarf for the red scarf project (http://nownormaknits2.typepad.com/red_scarf_project_2007/)

Hi I have been wanting to do things for charity, I would like to join the group, maybe that will give me the incentive to get going. I have started some squares to send out for afghans... so I have started lol.
Hello,
I'd like to join please... It will be nice to have something to do in January when my work slackens off.
I'll browse for suggestions for a while just now.

I would like to join. How do I e-mail you Cindy?
I'd like to join you in donating 25 things to charities. What do I need to do to join?
I need to be re-added so I can post. My blogs haven't made the leap to the new version of blogger. Please?
My friend recently lost her only daughter who was 12years old in a pedestian accident. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in a project of making a quilt with some of her favorite clothes. Her ambition was to be a fashion designer. I think it would be something her mother could have to cherish.
Thanks

Hello,
It's funny, we have a community that started on livejournal and is now moving over to blogspot as well, and in a lot of ways it's very similar to your idea.
We started our community (originally called 3000in2007) at the end of 2006. We set the goal of making 3000 items as a community in 2007 to honor the 3000 US soldiers who had died in Iraq. Like in your community, you can make whatever you want and donate it to whichever charity, but instead of individual tallies (which is neat!), we are tallying as a community.
I'd like to join your community if you'll have me, but am also wondering if you and some of your folks might want to check us out.
You can find us at craftingforacause.blogspot.com.
Thanks!
i would like to join!
How does one join your group? I tried clicking on the 'join us' tab several times, and kept getting sent back to the home page. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.

When you click the "join us" tab look on the right side of the screen for directions. Basically, you need to send me an e-mail with your e-mail address and name. I'll e-mail you an invite to join. cynabel@yahoo.com
Thanks!
I love this idea! I wish I had seen it eariler in the year, it might have prompted me to start my hats for homeless project sooner.
I'd love to join. I quilt and crochet. :) Email me plz.

I have been thinking about crocheting scarves and hats for distribution by the Salvation Army in colder climates.
I was looking around for simple children's hat designs and found this site. I just signed up for the newsletters and hope to contribute.
