I belong to the Knitters for Obama group on Ravelry and we're knitting up an afghan which will be raffled off. All proceeds will go to the Obama campaign. I'm excited because this all began as a little "what if?" in the back of my brain just a few weeks ago. Now it's this awesome project which several knitters across the United States are contributing to in order to raise funds for the campaign.
I'm even more excited because regardless of the fact that at this moment my family is going through the worse financial crisis that we've ever gone through, I'm able to still do my part in helping to raise money for a worthy cause. Personally I have not been able to donate more than $10 to the campaign, but through organizing this project I hope that I will help our group raise at least $2000 if not more.
I'm sure that I won't post here often, but I will definitely keep you all updated as to the progress afghan and our fundraising efforts.
