Shelly Tucker of <a href=\"http:\/\/thiseclecticlife.com\/\">This Eclectic Live<\/a> has organized people who crochet to make afghans for children who are attending cancer care camp.<br \/>\nI hope that if you know anyone who crochets you will encourage them to go to the FAQ page on Shelley&#8217;s blog to read up on what she needs.  Shelly has a nice group of people stitching away for her, but she can use more help.  Every afghan has 80 six-inch crocheted blocks, and each block is from a different person.  Our goal is to make 150 afghans to give to kids at camp during the summer of 2011.  Shelly is already accepting squares for the first 50 afghans.<br \/>\nIf you look to the right, you can see a link with a crocheted block.  Your work doesn&#8217;t have to be this complex.  I&#8217;m learning a few more intermediate block designs, but I also send simple (old-fashioned) granny squares.  The blocks must be crocheted out of worsted weight yarn (acrylic, no wool), and you need to be sure to weave the tails of the yarn through the stitches on the back.  End your stitching at a corner, and leave an 18&#8243; tail to be used assembling the squares.<br \/>\nHelp&#8230;&#8230;we need your help!
