Here's a quick square that I learned yesterday while I got tired of making Granny Squares ( only 6 more for #2's afghan). Last week I got all my yarn organized and put away by type into plastic totes and out of my family room closet. I ended up with lots of small balls of yarn and decided to make squares for a charity knitting group on Ravelry, the children of Pine Ridge Reservation. Most of the yarn is in pastel shades and I thought that this Bumpy Square pattern that another ravelry member shared would make warm squares for babies. I am going to make up some Bumpy Squares and then some Never-Ending squares to send to another ravelry member in Texas who is collecting squares for baby blankets.
In the past, I have made squares to send to a woman in Louisiana who makes afghans for the reservation. However, I wanted to make something for those who can't do it themselves, the children of Pine Ridge. It's a shame that in America, we have citizens living in such dire conditions, even worse that children are being raised in conditions where the life expectancy is 45.
