I didn't see anything else about this, going back through recent posts, so I thought I would pop something up. It seems like something some of you might be interested in.

Oxfam are calling for knitters/crocheters to make squares for a giant baby blanket to be presented at Downing Street in September. Every square will represent a mother who has not survived her pregnancy because she could not get access to adequate medical care. They need 250,000 squares.

Anyway, if you are interested in helping out, or you know of any knitters or crocheters who would like to lend a hand, all the details you need are on these two sites.
