I saw
this on
Clutterpunk and would really like to make at least one by the dead line. Gina explains it so well
here"There are a bunch of refugee craftswomen living and working in camps along the Thailand/Burmese border. They make and sell lovely stuff to earn a wage and support their families, and the great news is it's fair trade. But when December/January rolls around, they get cold, which can cause illness and other disruptions to their work, and therefore their income. Claire @ Warm Women wants to do something about it, and she wants people like you and me to help out by making a scarf to send along to our chilly Karen refugee friends."
Can you do one as well? Here is all you need to do (copied from
Warm Women)
Take Part
Instructions & Rules
1. There are hardly any of these.
2. Register to take part by sending a quick hello email to warmwomen@hotmail.com. I will only really need your name and email address but if you have a website or blog you want included on this blog, feel free to give that info too.
3. Make a scarf.

Be as creative as you like.
