New here....
My name is Erik Felker. I live in California. U.S.A. I just turned 67.
I enjoy working with yarn, but I don't knit or crochet. I weave my squares, making a simple loom from a sheet of foamcore and two rows of pins. Believe it or not,this method makes very good blanket squares!
I have some experience in making blanket squares, and have learned to make them with pile for warmth, like the pile blankets of ancient Scandinavia. I am going to try weaving squares with 100 per cent wool yarn for distribution to children who must live around open flames.
I'm enjoying this project very much and look forward to shipping my first squares soon.

Welcome onix. It sure beats seeing a strange look from a relative when I give them another scarf or hat or pair of slippers eh? We've got sooo much here and they've got so little.

CREATECARE GLOBAL
"CreateCare Global has set itself two tasks. The first is physical: to bring hope, support and comfort to children for whom poverty and loss are everyday tormentors. The second, and in our view equally important, is to spread the message to the world."
