Earth Day is on its way, April 22 will be here before we know it. This is the one time of year where we can all come together to show our support for environmental protection. We must keep our Earth clean as our children and children’s children will be living in it for years to come. Plant a tree, grow some flowers, ride a bike to the store instead of driving a car; help out in any way you can. Of course the one way we can all help out bring attention to Earth Day is by knitting and crocheting. Our favorite skill comes in handy on this day because we can use up our leftover pieces and scraps of yarn, recycle what we would have thrown away and even use our plastic bags to create plarn!
We have a wonderful variety of knit and crochet patterns from all of us at AllFreeCrochet.com, AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns.com and AllFreeKnitting.com. Whatever you choose to make this Earth Day, make sure you show it off proudly.
