Make It Better: Craftalong for Sandy Relief

I wanted to share a very inspiring project two NYC crafters have created to help those in need of comfort and warmth after hurricane Sandy. Brett Bara of Manhattan Craft Room and Natalie Soud of A Dose of Delight have thought up Make it Better: Craftalong for Sandy Relief where crafters can knit, crochet and sew warm items for those in need using free, easy patterns Brett & Natalie provide.

You can find all the patterns here on Brett's blog. The timeline to get things in is coming up fast, November 23. Please ship your warm items by this date to:
Natalie Soud
Soho Grand Hotel
310 W. Broadway
New York, NY 10013**This is the updated address from the pic below

I'd love to see what you make for this craftalong! Please, please make sure to share this project with everyone & share what you're making on the FB page for Make it Better.

Here's to helping in a very personal way...

Sandy....

 You can't imagine how lucky I feel to be safe and sound in my little apartment in Brooklyn after all the loss and damage Hurricane Sandy has caused. The images that I've seen leave me in awe of natures wrath. I can't believe I live so close to all this damage, and yet, my neighborhood was ok. Lots of debris and fallen trees, but we are ok. We are the lucky ones.

So sad to see these massive trees ripped from the earth. I just can't believe how these stately trees just cracked and crumbled. Speaking of trees, please read this beautiful post...

Just yesterday I saw a sea of cars & people with gas cans lining the streets for one of the cities free fuel stations set up for first responders. There is none. All the gas stations are tapped out & will be for a long time, so the public came out in mass. There were fights & humvees everywhere. Quite scary.

Sending my love to everyone effected by Sandy. I hope you all are ok. Did you experience the storm? Have any damage?
