A note for Pinterest users: I have noticed an uptick in Pinterest traffic from pins I did not create nor are they related to the content of my blog. As an avid Pinterest user myself, I understand how frustrating it is to click a pin only to find completely unrelated content on the other side. It is a Pinterest-wide problem and a bane to all bloggers. These pins are bot-created (for what reasons I cannot even fathom). I do my best to find the original sources of the pin images and post the links in the Pin comments to help you find what you are looking for, but these pins are so numerous it can be difficult to stay on top of it. Knotted Up In String is a crochet blog, so if you do happen to like crochet, feel free to stick around. I’m happy to have you!

It’s Thoughtful Thursday, dear friends. I’d like to use this time to highlight a charity near to my heart: Project Linus.

If you are not familiar with this charity, it’s one you should definitely look into. From their website, their mission is, “First, provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers. Second, provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.”

If you’re like me and love to create, consider taking some time to create a handmade blanket for Project Linus. The children they serve benefit so much from the love that goes into each homemade blanket.
