The Soaring Eagles Project desperately needs kids' mittens, socks, and slippers. 236 pairs of mittens and 69 pairs of socks or slippers by the December 17th deadline. There is a also Ravelry group.
To quote RachelH, a fifth grade teacher and organizer of the project:
Holiday charity knitting project for disadvantaged elementary school aged children in Oklahoma. We were so wildly successful last year, let's give it another go!
Last year a group of about 200 knitters came together from all over the world to give 425 children a wonderful handmade Christmas gift, a stocking cap. This year we will be helping another school in Oklahoma where I teach 5th grade. The details are not all together yet, but you can check us out over at http://soaringeaglesproject.blogspot.com and ask any questions you need to here!
We will be adopting a low-income, high poverty school in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Jane Phillips Elementary Eagles!
I made a couple pairs of worsted weight socks (4th sock OTN) and plan to make some mittens this weekend. Anyone else up for a pair of mittens or slippers or socks?
