[MR] Annual "Warm Up America" Page's Knitting challenge

[Sayyida Halima al-Shafi'i of Raven's Cove]

With the permission of the Keepers of the Clewe (Atlantia's Knitting 
Guild) and the Page's Academy, Halima al-Shafi'i issues the following 
challenge to the knitters and Pages of the kingdom:

  <>
Each knitter is challenged to find and teach a Page (or Page-aged child, 
9-14) to knit.  Pages are encouraged to seek out knitters.  Knitters 
will create squares that are 7" by 9" in any stitch.  Knitters will 
display their work at Kingdom 12th night.  All knitters are invited to 
knit for this event, and each local group is encouraged to have a local 
point of contact for this challenge.  At 12th night, the local group 
with the most squares will win a prize sponsored by Sayyida Halima 
al-Shafi'i.  Also, a special prize will be awarded to the Page who 
creates the most squares.  After 12th night, the squares will be donated 
to Michael's Arts and Crafts stores for their "Warm Up America" 
program.  The stores will join the squares into afghans to donate to the 
needy.  Pages will learn not only to knit, but will also learn 
charitable giving.  More about the "Warm Up America" program can be 
found at:
