I am especially proud of several of our Phatties for stepping up and offering to donate small (sometimes large!) portions of their profits for Haiti Relief. It is just another illustration of how this amazing band of fiber artists come together in synchronicity to achieve greatness.
Katherine Vaughan was one of the first designers I noticed to offer a portion of her proceeds to help for Haiti. Having a personal ties to the country, she put advocacy in action immediately upon hearing the news of the earthquake.
Now through January 31st, $2 for every pattern purchase from Katherine Vaughan will be donated to a Haitian Relief effort. I'm off to purchase her Happy Wrap- I'd been eyeballing it for a while!
As a special giveaway, we are offering a 5 pack of printed designs for you! Just visit Katherine Vaughan's pattern shop on Ravelry , or her Etsy shop and let us know which are your favorites. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week- and yes your pattern purchases count towards the superbox giveaway as well! We'll be counting your twitter and facebook updates as extra entries, so let everyone know about Katherine Vaughan Designs!
Thanks for fighting the good fight, KT!

YAY, I love to see knitters kicking ass for the powers of good. I am in love with her Patchwork Tote! RTed @millarca
I've had Inconceivable! favourited on Ravelry since I first found it. Now I'm expecting a baby, and the windowpane blanket may be calling my name! Thanks!
I really like the Wavy Days Clutch and the Patchwork Tote patterns!

This is so cute:

The Comfy Cape, love it!
Thanks very much for being so considerate! I like all the dishcloth patterns. Everybody asks me for dishcloths and I am always looking for new patterns.
I like the Oceanside Cowl :-)
The Alley Collar looks like the perfect pattern for my handspun as well as a great addition to my winter farm wardrobe!
Fauxhawk Baby Hat is so fun! I need a little boy to make one for! I also like the Beehive Hat!

I REALLY love the sunshine purse! Skirtsicle has been hanging out in my queue, waiting for my daughter to like skirts again.
I actually have been wanting to knit a baby blanket for a while, and I love her designs. I especially love the dewdrop baby blanket. Off to Ravelry....

Oh, I was just eyeing a bunch of her patterns yesterday, esp. all the baby blankets. My cousin and his wife are having a baby this summer, and I'm sure that kid will be knitworthy! Gotta find something to make for the little one. I also appreciate where her donations are going, as that's one of the places we'll be sending ours.
Her lace patterns are beautiful. I love Inconceivable. Between the name and the movie references how could it not be a hit!
I love, love, love the comfy cape. I might try making it during the Ravelympics. Thanks for all you do--not just the Haitian relief--other causes you have supported as well!
I love your designs :-)
Just added you to my favorites at Ravelry (I'm knitsandspins) and etsy (I'm spinsandknits)
INCONCEIVABLE!!! :)
I'm very into shawl/stole knitting right now so the Happy Wrap really speaks to me. I also love the Alley Collar. I need a good neck warmer.
I'm partial to scarves and I just Love the Nixie's Net scarf. Thanks for the contest. Debbie in Alaska
pandoras box and inconceivable to name a few!
i think it is wonderful all the generosity!
I love the good day sunshine bag pattern.
It amazes me how many crafters and designers have scrambled to do all the can for Haiti, thank goodness!
Gotta say, I've had the Jayne hat pattern in my wishlist for a while :) Also love the Hugs and Kisses purse and the Patchwork Tote!
I like the pattern for Duveteux. I have been looking for a pattern like that to have to wear when knitting at the library. My back & shoulder gets cold but I like my arms to be free. I like all of the baby blanket patterns and the comfy cape pattern.
I am also giving money from the ssales at my shop to dwb until 1/31/10
