Knit bloggers tend to be kind, generous folks. Did you know that Yarn Harlot's giving drive for tsunami relief efforts, Knitters Without Borders, has raised almost $30K for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders? Dig it! You can participate too - just forgo that latte or that (gasp!) yarn purchase this week, set aside the funds, and donate to DWB/MSF. Then e-mail Yarn Harlot to report your donation.

I noticed that the Canadian government is matching donations to MSF Canada. I wonder if this includes American donations? If so, would it be better to donate there? If I find out, I'll let y'all know.
