Yowsa!

On Friday, we figured that Lorna's Laces needed to do something to help Sandy victims. We have friends, family, colleagues and customers that were hit. Some of them pretty hard. It's scary out there. But, what to do? We spent our lunch hour collaborating and decided to offer 4 sock patterns for $5 and give 100% of the proceeds to Feeding America.

We had this little dream that we might raise $500 or even $1000 if we shot for the moon. Well, as of 12:00 noon today, we've raised $2325.00!! I am humbled by your generosity.

Thanks to Margaret, Silvias, Karen , Joy, Jessie, Susan, Jeanne, Emma, Sarah, Michelle, Deborah, The Yarn Stash, Bonnie, Camellia, Lauren, Katherine, Talana, Buffie, Anne, Delia, Jennifer, Karen, Stephanie, Stephen, Stephanie, Brett, Elizabeth, Kathleen,, Nernadette, Jennifer, Nancy, MaryFrances, JsSolutions, Denise, Megan, Carrie, Codi, Renee, Reet, Sue, Molly, diane, Lorna, Stephanie, Katherine, Rebecca, Celtic Heirlooms and Dreams, Daine, Mary, Tracey, Diane, Susan, Olga, Denise, Ronald, Kelli, Jamie, Ronda, Sharon, Susan, Abigail, Olivia, Joan, Dayle or Kelly, Brenda, Richelle, Leslie, Emily, Varina, Katherine, Nacny, Jack, Judy, Cindy, Ellene, carol, Sarah, Julie, DIANE, CaffeinatedKnitting, grace, Terry, LYNETTE, Kristy, Margaret, Sarah, Carol, Laura, Wilma, Ingrid, Sharon, Casey, Lynette, Johanna, deborah, Bette, stormy, Erice, Hilary, Jennifer, Jessica, Stephanie, sarah, stephanie, Petra, Camille, Megan, marharetha, Carol, Marian, Marcia, Kjirstine, Patricia, Vicki, Susan, Amy, Connie, Donna, Isabelle, CaffeinatedKnitting, Judy, Monika, Hook A Frog, Leslie, Romana, linda, Suzette, Grannies Sock Yarn, Becky, Kathleen, Kathleen, Norma, Patti, Charlotte, Dodi, Rori, Debra, Dana, Cnnie, Wittman, Deborah, XGX, Murray, Amy, Jane, Carmen, Dane, Beverly, Ruth, Ashley, Whiskerknits, Inger, Patricia, Hannah, Reyna, Suzanne, Alison, Elizabeth Tina, Madeleine, Kay, Brenda, Elaine, Susan Margaret, Amy, Claudia, Gerry, Magdalena, Jayne, Deborah, Deaor, Halpert, Eike, Jane, Ellen, Joe, Martha, Claudia, Donna, Claudia, Tami, Claudia, Bess, Claudia, Caroline, Bettina, Nancy Bonnie, Karen, Margaret, Cindy, Mary, Kathryn, Jeanne, Tabitha, Kathryn, Susan, Troy, Tammy, Heather, Lisa, Alicia, Apple Blossom, Ellen, Lorraine, Heidi, Mary, Susanna, Rebecca, Twisted Treasures, Dennis, Stephanie, Vicki, Charlotte, Barbara, Carolyn, Olivia, Sarah, Sarah, Natalie, Melanie, Allison, A Good Yarn, Barbara, Gloria, Ruth, Jennifer, Suzette, Mary, Hooly, Deenna, Martha Rosemary, Concette, Sara, kathyrn, Thora, Susan, Kathy, Ellen, Lisa, Cheryl, hope, Mary, Shelley, heidi, NANCY, Judith, Barbara, Susan, Susan, Marie, Diane, Jeanne, myna, Frances, Sherri, Judith, Carole, Emilie, Sheila, Nancy, Rebecca, Judy, Joan, Heather, Aardwol Press, Catherine, Lucy, Daughters Of Brigit Handcrafters, Lara, Jocelyn, Harry, Gayle, Penolope, Margaret, Elizabeth, Denise, Frances, Lori, Gretl, Rachel, Renee,Celeste, Kim, Rachel, Jeanne, Jamie, Julie, Arlene, Theresa, Daine, Ann, Deborah, Monica, Leah, joanna, Ana, Janet, Nora, Catherine, Elaine, Marjorie, Shelley, Susan, Suzanne, Martin, jennifer, Birgit,Dorothy, Esther, Silja, Maarit, Joanna, Karen, michele, Becky, Susan, Nina, Lisa, Elaine, Heather, Anthony, Deborah, Becky, Penny, stacy, Patricai, Margaret, Tamar, Dennine, Kathy, Susan, Linda, Mary Ellen, Cathy, Patty, Myra, Mary, Ruth, Margaret, FLossie, Biance, Anna, Carol, Mahlon, Barbara, Joanna, Stacey, Gloria, Merrie, Hook and Ladder, Juliet, Linda, Linda, Katharine, Sandra, Jennifer, Linda, Susan, margaret, Tammy, Jennifer, Linda, Christina, Madelyn, Linda, East Tennessee Gayle Knitwear, Cheryl, Kristen, Patricia, Jill, Amy, Jeanne, Kellie, Helde, Jessi, Kathie, Susan, Shannon, Glenda, Laura, Mairead, Tom, Jessica, Deirdre, Helen, Maureen, Nancy, Alison, Pauline, Deborah, Euclid, Marguerite, Helen, Sumiko, Sherry, patricia, Linda, Linda, Winifred, Jennifer, Pamela, Sarah, Carmen, Britt, Kimberly, Lorrie, Anita, Michelle, Rae, Lori, Patti, rachel, Casey, Casey, Samantha, Lillian, Amy, Kelli, Heather, Linda, Bhama, Susan, Debra, Linda, Ann, Linda, Linda, Michelle, Kathy, Holly, SAM, Amanda, Anita, Meaghan, Gail, Ken, Karen, Kim, Alexandra elizabeth, Rita, Barbara, Holli, Anna, Barbara, Ruth LInda, Teresa, Liz Katherine, Inmotion Technology, Dawn, Cathe, Sue, Alpha, Jordan, Monica, Constance, Laura, Doris, Melissa, Beth and...

That's wonderful. What a terrific idea. Sadly, some how I missed the post. This is the first I've heard of it.
