A very noble and generous act... Donating these soap sacks!

[@Fiberchats]

And a great way to use some of that yarn

[@anvitasinha1770]

@@Fiberchats Irina, can you recommend any fast-to-knit soap sacks? I don't crochet, unfortunately...

[@Fiberchats]

@@anvitasinha1770 They have all kinds of pattern templates on soap sack websitee. You can also just knit a simple rectangle and saw the edges

I love making soap sacks, and in December I gave myself a 2 week challenge to make a soap sack a day. It was a success!!

[@Fiberchats]

Such a great company!

[@stacywiener7071]

Darrick, THANKS so much for your enthusiasm and support!!!

[@LazyRetiredGranny0718]

Oh my gosh!!!!! I love to knit and have tons of cotton yarn!!! I dont have anyone to knit for and I do donate scarves and shawls to the homeless shelter. I am on a budget so only use yarn that is from a big box store so this is perfect!!!!! I am rushing over to the web page and joining the fb page now!!! I am so excited to start this new adventure for 2022!!!!! Thank you so much for this great opportunity to share kindness and love to the less fortunate. I am so blessed to be able to share a little to others!

[@Fiberchats]

You just made my day! Truly!

[@tyanneagle4630]

What a great project. I will have to find my cotton yarn and make some.

[@Fiberchats]

Please do!

[@stacywiener7071]

That's wonderful---thank you!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

What a great idea ! I can see using gauge swatch to make soap sacks.

[@Fiberchats]

Totally!

I really loved this episode Irina. One of things that I love to do is to participate in charity knitting that helps others. Because of my healthcare background I was drawn to a non-profit organization called Knitted Knockers. This group knits breast prostheses that can be used by women after they have a mastectomy. They are light an natural feeling and are appreciated around the world. This episode made me think about Knitted Knockers (they are a little more challening than soap sacks, but I believe that they provide a great service to a very vulnerable group of women. I would like to suggest that you consider having Barbara Demorest (President, also a knitter) from knitted knockers for an interview. I guarantee that you would not be disappointed. I watch every one of your interviews as soon after they are released as possible. Please continue this great work. Gary

[@Fiberchats]

Thanks Gary! That's a great idea! Could you please email me her contact information if you have it to [e-mail]? I'll try googling it as well

How inspiring is this? Every little thing may matter to just one person. You never know what someone else is going through. This is a great way to show we care! Thank you for sharing!
