thought this might be fun to share with your subscribers since we’re all such a crafty bunch.

After Save the Children’s State of the World’s Mothers 2006 report highlighted simple, low-cost practices that could save newborn lives — like warming their heads with a knit or crochet cap — Save the Children received numerous calls and e-mails from Americans around the country wanting to organize their friends and family to knit and crochet caps for newborns in developing countries.

hi there
i just found out about your site and i love it. just one thing i don’t understand and maybe you can help. where are the photos of the
pieces that the letters and comments refer to. I love reading the little blurbs about the projects and pieces that the readers are mentionng,, but i am so disappointed when i can’t find the photographs of what they are referring to. thanks for your help.

[Well Patty, you have brought up a good point and I will try to upload an image or two to go with the letters occasionally, however if there is no image and you would like to see the project that is being discussed, please click on the link to the original website where there is hopefully an image or two. Cheers K]

Hi Kath, thank you so much! I received my gorgeous bamboo yarn and huge needles yesterday, found the package by my doorstep this morning. Beautiful colors, and um, wow, are those big needles or what?
Thanks again, you do a great job on Whip-up and I absolutely love looking at all the Whiplash entries. Thanks for challenging and prodding and inspiring me every day.
