Donate and Vote!

Spring has sprung. Much has happened in the last few weeks meriting some support from the realms of blogland.

First, and most important, is that a member of the Bad Knit Girls group on Ravelry has suffered a tragedy. Lori’s husband was in a severe accident, and he will not be returning to her. She has some other difficulties in her life making this all the more tragic. Several groups on Ravelry are working together to raise some money to help Lori out. The wonderfully internet and technologically savvy Madam Knit Girl has set up a location for e-donations through paypal on Bad Kit Girls . Under the banner on the homepage, you’ll see a button on the far right that says “Lori’s Donation Fund”. Please check it out. If you can give, please do. She will more than appreciate it.

Now on to the self-serving portion of our posting. I am running for May Bad Knit Girl. I never do stuff like this. However, this group of ladies is completely awesome (see above donation request). They are everything you’d ever want to see in a woman – sexy, sassy, sympathetic, and supportive. To be an official Knit Girl, I need votes. Lots and lots and lots of votes. The competition is stiff – all of the chicks are rockin’. To put into words what this group has done for me is difficult. I can say that the women have helped me restore my faith in myself in more ways than I can count. I am a better person for knowing these ladies. Please, therefore, vote for me. If you don’t want to vote for me, then vote for one of the other ladies. Any of them deserve to win. Just get out the vote! Go to Bad Knit Girls and you’ll see a button under the banner, second from the left, that says “Vote!!” That will take you to the voting page. Thanks in advance to all of you who will vote and thanks to those who already have!
