More granny squares for Japan

A month or something ago I discovered the Kyōyū kyōyū - share project that Kate set up to help the victims of the tsunami and earth quakes in Japan. She collects granny squares from allover the world, makes them into baby blankets and sends them off to Japan where the blankets are oh so welcomed by families who've lost everything.

I love this initiative, so what else was there to do than just crochet more granny squares for this wonderful project!


Then I took a look at the Kyōyū kyōyū - share Blog and saw that some of the blankets have already reached Japan. And this is how they are recieved:


This seriously brought tears to my eyes. How can you not just grab your crochet hook and make more squares! So if you have a few balls of acrylic yarn laying around that you are not using, start hooking some squares for Japan!

~Have a great weekend everyone!~
