Todd says it all:

On July 25, I’ll will be embarking on a weeklong 660 km bike ride from Toronto to Montreal as part of the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation Bike Rally.

Before Kite passed away, Sage and I asked her about raffling one of her rugs in order to meet Todd’s sponsorship goal. She loved the idea.

Kite took apart one of those… really hideous embroidered sweaters with too many colours, and crocheted this beautiful rug with the resulting yarn.

Materials: cotton
Size: 31 inches in diameter

Ticket cost: $25 – you may buy as many as you like

Buy tickets by sponsoring me here:

Please contact me to let me know that you’ve donated, and how much. I’ll put you on the Raffle list. On June 5, I’ll put every ticket in a hat and randomly draw the winner of the rug.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!
