P/Hop ... 'Pennies per Hour of Pleasure'

P/Hop is a charitable organisation raising funds for Medecins sans Frontieres and is the brainchild of Natalie at The Yarn Yard. Go to this link to see what she has to say: http://theyarnyard.typepad.com/

Designers from all over have pledged to donate patterns to MSF, which you can download for free! However, once you have your newly completed knitted/crocheted scarf/socks/sweater, they ask you to donate an amount that corresponds to the amount of pleasure you got from making it.

So far, there is a beanie pattern,donated by Terri Bate; a fabulous pair of 'Cranford Mittens' by Jane Lithgow; A scarf 'Flowers in the Rain' by Jacqui Walker; and the long awaited p/hop sock pattern by Debbie of 'Hue & Dye' blogspot.

Although P/Hop is still in the relatively early stages you can even join in the knit-along and the Ravelry group, link time: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/p-hop
