The day has come and passed, and it was AMAZING, was it not? The small group that I went with hit the Country Club Plaza, and left a total of 14 items, plus a large number of CareStitch cards tied to poles and trees. If you'd like to see one of the items we left, look down, because we got a picture in the paper!!!
Yeah, that's right, that's a picture of the statue that wore one of Ross' (a great Polychromatic Purler) scarves. This was in the Local section of the KC Star's Wednesday paper. I'm not kidding you! We didn't get a story, but this is still something, people! The more news we get spreading about us, the more people we can round up to help us raise awareness on child abuse.
Slowly but surely, we will make a difference.
---------------------------------------------------------
I wanna thank all of you guys for taking time out of your busy schedules to knit something spectacular and display it in public, with one of our CareStitch cards. We can't do much of anything without your help, so thanks a million! I hope that all of you decide to stick around for a very long time; this season may be over, but now we've gotta start planning for next year!
Speaking of which: if any of you have suggestions for what we could do better the next time around, please tell us. I'll make a list of ideas that Celia, Ross, and myself thought up yesterday and I'll post them on the site tomorrow.

ps-the next couple of posts will include some stories from Polychromatic Purlers and their exploits that went on yesterday (some pictures included). If you have a story you'd like to share, email it to me at puppydls@hotmail.com and I'll be sure to put it on the blog soon. Happy knitting!
