Fire in Everett MA

As some of you are aware of there was a fuel tanker that overturned and exploded yesterday morning in Everett MA. Well I just found out through my sister Debbi that my sil's niece and her boyfriend and family were one of the houses affected by this disaster. This is her niece Laura. What my sister and I are asking is if there is anyone out there willing to knit up some 9x9 squares so that we can show Laura and Chris that people care. If you can that would be very much appreciated. I know alot of you have holiday knitting to do but anything would help. If you are willing to help you can send them to us by Jan 5. Then my sister and I will put them together. I want to thank everybody in advance. Laura is also the niece of a former employer of mine. If you email me at mommyofd@yahoo.com I will send you my mailing address.

Hi there -- I just came here via UniversalHub and would love to help out with 9x9 squares. Would it be OK if I cross-posted the call for squares on my blog and on some livejournal communities to help get the word out? I think a lot of people would like to help out with this project. Also, where should we mail the squares? Thanks for the awesome idea! - Maria

I'll knit up a square for you. Any fiber/color preferences?

I have some spare yarn patiently waiting to be used -- I'll happily knit up a square! And yeah -- color/ fiber/ pattern preferences?

any color or fiber is ok preferably washable

I am so sorry to hear that... we've been watching it on the news, crazy! My knitting group in Chester, NH has been doing squares for the San Diego fire victims so I am going to ask if we can redirect some your way... and if not, I'll gladly get knitting on some new ones!
