"Macuwita sni" is a Lakota term which translates to: "I'm not cold"!

The several thousand children of the Cheyenne River Sioux in South Dakota need our hand knitted wool sweaters!!!

If you love to knit & want to open both your heart & stash to warm a child .... do join! There are no fees ... no schedules .... no requirements - well, I guess yarn, a little time and a little mail money to send your creation to SD are the basics which you will need.

Our focus is child sized clothing - size 2 -14. At this time, SUPERWASH wool garments are FABULOUS, 100% wool items require 'washing instructions' be included & 100% acrylics are fine!

Please consider a larger size too. Yes - it may take a wee bit longer to knit & use a wee bit more yarn - but older children are sometimes over looked. Heck the style *is* oversized anyway!

Got extra yarn?? Maybe a hat ... or mittens ... or sox ... or vest!

This group is a work in progress ... let us have fun & knit or crochet!! It would be wonderful if we heard "Macuwita sni " yelled out, loud & clear!
