The volunteers are beginning to filter in, even from across the pond! I have one volunteer, who while she is unable at this time to spin for us or knit a shawl for us, has offered some funds to help defray the costs of shipping the yarn to the knitters and the shawls to us for mailing to Pennsylvania. Knitters and spinners rock, I tell you!

Photo Albums
Barns
- A series of barn photos I've taken or been sent. Barns are magical to me - they have so much character, and provide so much for the animals and farmers.
Pre-blog FOs
- These are photos of finished objects, knit pre-blog. Some of these date back to the early 1980's, not having knit since my mother taught me to knit a scarf at the age of six.

I volunteer to knit and will also propose this to my knitters circle. I have one other person in this area who has already volunteered. I have emailed you. Please let me know how we can help.

Amish women wear black shawls, by the way (and very plain stitching). I submitted a comment in your previous post (a few minutes ago) about helping with the distribution of the shawls. Let me know if I can help.

For the knitters, check out Fiber Trends "Edged with Lace" square shawl/blanket by Evelyn Clark. It is a square garter shawl edged with your choice of lace edgings in different yarn weights. If not used as a shawl it could wrap a new child in comfort. The shawl pattern may be plain enough to meet the Amish "requirement" for plainness.

I also have a friend here in SLC that would like to donate funds. Let me know how that's going to work and I'll pass on the word. I'll post about the shawls tomorrow! Oh and I do want to knit (not good enough in the spinning department) and I'd love to knit what you spin.
