Paula of BAAAD Anna’s is a fantastic community organizer and bringer of all things fiber PLUS local or long distance causes. This post is to share my own contribution to the current cause notably concerning the Ukraine. Today my boyfriend and I will drive over and drop off 12 pairs of knitted socks in a variety of sizes, that I’ve made on my Circular Sock Machine.
See their INSTAGRAM post. My previous charity knitting sock donation.
This afternoon Wyatt and I are on a mini-adventure over to the awesome @baaadannas knit shop in Vancouver to drop off 12 knitted tubes (5 done on the 54 needle stitch cylinder and 7 done on the 72 stitch cylinder). These will be used by volunteers to knit cuffs, heels and toes. All these tubes were cranked up last night and this morning in order to drop off before they close today at 2pm.
Want more info on where these will go?

Today I announce my intentions and goal to make and donate a minimum 20 pairs to a local charity. I am currently aiming to donate to the Baaad Anna’s sock donation.
More info on community events as listed on Baaad Anna’s website.
I hope doing so inspires other CSM users to do the same for those in need.
Outside of this I plan to build my stockpile of created socks for gifting purposes in what little free time I have while working full time.
(Intention to donate was also added to the WHAT’S NEW page and my INSTAGRAM.)
I have the following to donate #45, #50, #53, #54, #57, #76, #97, #98, #101, #102, #103, #104, #105, #111, #112, #113, #114, #115, #116, and #117. Each pair as listed above are clickable to their Ravelry project page which shows how I made them/yarn content etc.
EDIT: August 1/20 We dropped off the first 6 pairs (others to come) while retrieving a yarn order today between 11am and 2pm. :)
FINAL EDIT: August 8/20 Tomorrow we drop off the remaining 14 pairs of finished knitted CSM socks! :) Below are images of all socks donated.
