CROP Walk 2005

Here's a shameless plug: sponsor me for the CROP Walk!

CROP Walk is an annual charity walk to raise money for long-term domestic disaster recovery and overseas development and refugee assistance programs sponsored by Church World Service. Among the beneficiaries are 12 food pantries and feeding programs in Essex County, New Jersey including the only kosher food pantry in the county, the Salvation Army, and the Red Cross. Learn more CROP Walk FAQs here.

As a special thank you gift to my sponsors, every $10 donation to CWS gets an entry in a drawing for a feather and fan lace scarf. Give $10, get one chance; give $20, get two chances, and so on.

Here's the scarf in progress, worked in Cherry Tree Hill Baby Loop Mohair "Spring Frost." Some call the pattern Misty Garden. Ordinarily, mohair gives me itchy fidgets, but Baby Loop is as soft and light as soap bubbles.

Misty Garden scarf begins

CROP Walk is October 16. Donations made through that date will qualify for the drawing. I'll use a random number generator to select the scarf winner and will announce the result here October 17.

"We walk because they walk!"
