Crochet Washcloths Ready to Ship

| 3 Comments

My latest crafting for charity project is a set of hand towels for the Global Knit Haiti Earthquake Relief Project. While this felt like it took me forever because most of it I did in single crochet stitch, the basic idea is simple enough that anyone with very basic crochet skills could handle. Using cotton yarn, you make a small 10×10 inch wash cloth and a larger 12×18 inch towel, put them in a zip lock bag together, add a bar of non-scented soap, and send them off to Global Relief’s office in Ohio. I’ve made two sets using Lily brand yarn (very inexpensive and nice to work with), and now I just need to pack them up and mail them out.

For more information about this program, go to the Global Knit site.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.

  1. I’m working on some Haiti House pins which I read about at Cyndi’s blog. You might be interested in that for your next crafting for charity project. They’re fun to make. But then you have the sell them ;-(

  2. I’ll go take a look. I’m curious.
