Autism Charity Patterns

We are pleased to finally be able to offer our patterns to raise money for the Autism Society of America.  All of the proceeds will go to ASA.  We are asking that you please donate at least $6.00 for each pattern .  As always every bit donated will help.  Please make sure you specify hard copy (pattern mailed to you) or if pdf download is ok.  Also make sure to note which pattern you are looking to receive or if you are donating for all of them.  Paypal is the easiest way to pay but email me if you prefer to pay via check (made out to ASA).  We will keep a running total on the left sidebar.  Check often, we would love to see that number rise higher and higher.   

I forgot please leave a comment when you make a donation so I will have your blog addy if you have one or an email address you check often.  This way if you win a door prize I can get in touch with you.

We now have a button thanks to Jean.  Run over and say Thank you to her.   Feel free to take it, all we ask is you link it to us here.

A special thanks to Charles Tinsley, Danette Taylor, Greta, and to my family, who have helped knit the garments for the last pictured patterns, who without them Monkey & I would be lost.

Best of all we are going to have door prizes (yarn, tote bags, kits, and a few pattern books).  If you have something you would like to donate as a door prize email me.  All names will be thrown in a hat and door prizes will be drawn at random with the winners being posted here.  Yarn for all of the kits are available, just email me with 10% of the proceeds being donated to ASA also.  Don't forget to keep your receipt, for your tax deductible donation.  Any donation you are able to make will be extremely appreciated.   

Patterns will also be available wholesale (except for Danettes), again email me.

Good for you!

I just made a donation, but it didn't give me an opportunity to write a note with it. I don't need any of the patterns, I just wanted to contribute!

[Benne]

A great idea, knitting patterns for a great cause! I made a donation and would like to receive the Danette Taylor shawl pattern in a downloadable PDF file. Thanks for presenting this opportunity to donate and for your work for this worthy cause.

I'm going to make a donation too, but you might want to add somewhere that some companies (my husband's is one) have donation matching. So I have him figuring out how his company will match the donation we make then I'll do it too. I don't need any more patterns but I definitely need help for my two "nephews" that are affected. Thanks for doing this, it is so helpful!

I made small donation -- I just want to help out, no patterns needed -- a friend of mine has an autistic son, and it's been hard for her to find support.
