KNITTING TO SHARE

Collects twenty-five knitting projects for children, teens, women, and men, as well as information on charitable organizations that accept knitted donations.

Gerard Allt and his partner run the "I Knit London" shop and sanctuary for knitters. Through I Knit, Gerard has been involved in many charity knitting projects including a project with Water Aid that mobilized knitters worldwide to create a knitted petition to raise awareness for those without access to safe water. The result was a huge river of almost 100,000 knitted blue squares donated from all over the globe. Gerard is involved with the Men Who Knit online community and was recently named Deputy Chair of the UK Knitters and Crochet Guild.
