Project Warming Kaitlyn

...has moved.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

I know you all are probably very busy, seriously knitting all kinds of beautiful gifts for family and friends, but today I'm asking YOU to help me knit something very special, for a spectacular little girl.  Her name is Kaitlyn, she's beautiful and soooo full of life, no matter what defeats she has to conquer.  Her mom, Heather and dad, Eric are the authors of Kaitlyn's Journey.

Okay, so, thing is she loves the color "pink" and "everything girlie".  Dad explains mom is a "knit-o-holic", but since Kaitlyn's diagnosis, she hasn't had much time to knit.  I want to turn Heather's passion/hobby into a real life piece of art for their little sunshine (aka, Kaitlyn:o)

What I need from you:

• One (or more if you can) 5 inch "blocked" knitted square, any pattern.
• Yarn can be handspun or commercial...variegated or solid.
• Must be pink.
• I'm shooting for merino wool...something soft and squishy:o)
• Please be sure to send the yarn label if you can, attached with your info:  blog, website, name, and place of origin.

Are you in??  Please say yes:o)  If so, email me or leave a comment and when you are done I will send you my mailing info.

Edit to add:  One person had asked if she could you silk....of course...high end luxury yarn is GREATLY appreciated...silk...cashmere...etc.  Also if anyone knows how to make those linky buttons, please do so, and pass on the word...I'd make one, if I knew how.  Thanks again! You guys are great! Keep those emails rolling in!

Heather, if you are reading this, and if you can, I would really like to have you knit one too.  You are free to design it anyway you want...you know Kaitlyn the most:o)  Thanks Heather...go here for another page for your sunshine:o)

what a wonderful idea! would silk do? i've got some pink silk yarn in my store i could use, and one skein would probably give me several squares. if not, i'm sure i've got something more merino-y around.

I think I have some pink .. and if not, I have some I've been drooling over a while, and I just got Barbara Walker's 2nd Treasury so I have lots of patterns to play with. I'm in!

I just happy to have some pink merino fiber so I will be sure to spin some and knit a square or however many I can before your deadline. How soon do you need them and can you email me your info?

i'm a sucker for chairty knitting and children :) i don't have any pink on hand, but i'll pick up some soft and cuddly goodness friday.

[Natalie]

I'd love to do this!! When do you want them by?

[Valerie]

What a great project and what a little sweetheart! My heart goes out to Kaitlyn's family--I've been there with my little girl--and I know that one's own knitting just has to lie dormant for a while during treatment. But receiving handknits from others is so heartwarming. I echo Yarn-Harlot-Stephanie in saying that knitting is loopy, warm, wooly love. Count me in!

[BigAlice]

I'll make a square for Kaitlyn.

[Vivian]

What a great idea, silk is a really good yarn but you do have to precautions.

Love your market bag!! Is there a place to get the pattern and where did you get the handles. I have been knitting for over 30 years and this is one of the nicest market bags I have seen and would love to make it. Please let me know. Thank you very much.
