12 Months of Awareness

Recommended Posts

12 Months of Awareness is a new group which is currently based on Ravelry. This group intends on making squares and blankets to raise awareness for various illnesses.

Each month has been allocated an illness with its awareness colour and we will be making 6x6" squares to be made into a big blanket for charities who support it. All we ask for is 1 square a month in various colours.

If you want to join us and get more information, the group is here: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/12-months-of-awareness so please pop a long and see if its something you want to involved in.

 

Many thanks.

Hi there!

The first month has started. This October, 12 Months of Awareness is collecting Pink (as long as squares are mainly pink, any other color is ok) squares to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. There is a collector set up in America instead of sending to the UK (or anywhere else). If you want to help by just sending 1 or 2 pinks square to help make something which can be donated for fundraising purposes, please either go to the group on Rav: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/12-months-of-awareness or message me for the address to send them directly to.

 

Thanks for reading.

Hi there!

I just wanted to add to this post that this month is my month of collecting. I am collecting 6" squares in DK / Light Worsted in the colours White and Teal to make an awareness blanket for Cervical Cancer. I have an old school friend who is battling this at the moment so, once my blanket has been made, I am donating it to a charity auction she is having to raise money for Jo's Trust (http://www.jostrust.org.uk).

If anyone is able to help, please drop me a PM.

Many thanks.
