Funds donated to Direct Relief International and earmarked for Japan (from pattern sales through May 31, 2011): $2,705. Thank you knitters!

Designed to help Japan after their devastating earthquake and tsunami, $5 for each Sakaki pattern sold through the end of May will be donated to charities allowing earmarking for Japan. Beginning in June, 2011, $5 per pattern sold will be donated to Doctors without Borders, which does not allow earmarking for Japan but does wonderful work there and throughout the world. Like Brandywine, the goal is to sell 10,000 patterns, and I will keep donating until that number is reached!
