#teamcraftersofmastodon we did it!! I just finished my final 7.5 hour shift. (Totally counting the frogging time & time spent finding faithful pattern to restart!)🧶

Thanks to all of our hours, the #knitforfood drive raised about $337,000 USD total for the 4 food insecurity charities to share.❤️

Thanks to mastodon, I had a super cool day simultaneously knitting/crocheting with friends & new acquaintances all over the world.💕

We can tally math & country representations tomorrow. Goodnight!😴

And that’s a wrap! Good job everyone 😁 #KnitForFood

Bucky Barnes has trashed downtown Cleveland, I’m four rows away from binding off, and you have one more hour to donate and enter a raffle for a handknit thing, now with two winners: https://givebutter.com/knitforfood23/christinadierkes #KnitForFood

Steve Rogers has punched nazis and I’m slowly but surely running out of yarn. #KnitForFood

We’ve reached ten donations, so your chances of winning the raffle have doubled! Entries close at 10pm ET tonight: https://givebutter.com/knitforfood23/christinadierkes #KnitForFood

Ooooh! #teamcraftersofmastodon - we haven’t yet hit our fundraiser goal (totally arbitrary amount - I had to pick one when I signed us up) - but the fundraiser as a whole has totally broken prior records and currently stands at $316,000-ish USD. For reference, last year, #knitforfood raised about $272,000. The funds will be split between Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels.

5 hours left for money or time donations!! https://givebutter.com/knitforfood23/CraftersofMastodon ❤️

The King has Return(ed) and I’m about halfway through the border of my donor raffle prize option. Time for a stretch break. #KnitForFood

Tomorrow’s the day to #knitforfood! I’m participating in the Sunday knit-a-thon to raise $$$ for 4 food charities. Details in blog post: https://pdxknitterati.com/2023/03/25/knit-for-food-knit-a-thon-is-tomorrow/

I'm delighted to say that my hands are in good enough shape for some crafting today, so I'm joining in #TeamCraftersOfMastodon in the #KnitForFood knit-a-thon today! 🙌 Settling in for an hour of knitting on a shawl. Kudos to team organizer @amyshark for getting us going and to @minib for being the first one (I know of) to get her crafting time in today. Our team fundraising page is https://givebutter.com/knitforfood23/CraftersofMastodon.

Good morning! It’s Knit-a-Thon Day! I’ll be knitting 10am to 10pm to raise funds for some excellent organizations, and you can help (all of my donors are entered into a raffle drawing for something handknit): givebutter.com/knitforfood23/christinadierkes #KnitForFood
