Knit for Mother Earth and Make a Difference
Today is Make a Difference Monday...
As knitters, we usually think about making a difference in terms of knitting for charity and helping those in need. But what if we decide to make a difference in a different way? How about making a difference for the environment?
Today, I'm going to introduce you to a cool environmentally friendly challenge. You'll learn how to cut down on using so many plastic bags and get a free knitting pattern. After that, you'll also learn how to stop the 'pollution' in your home by getting rid of another common object we simply have way to much of.
Join in the fun and learn how you can help the environment.

She theorizes that if she uses her hand-knit cotton grocery bags instead of the usual plastic grocery bag it's one more step toward cleaning up the environment. Why don't you join her? Check out her blog, knit your own grocery bags using her free knitting pattern, and lighten the load in the landfills.
