List members might be interested to know that there is a wonderful project
called
The Crafting Womb in Australia. You can see the knitting at a recent
conference
http://thecrafthive.com/2012/08/the-crafting-womb-you-are-invited/
Early in the Conference, Kristan speaks about The Crafting Womb, and has a
table where participants check-in and get (donated) wool and needles... many
have not knitted before.
The squares are joined to make blankets for Dr Catherine Hamlin's Fistula
Ethiopa Fund (the endorsed one).

If you are interested in supporting Catherine Hamlin's work, please read the
link with news of $15m apparently being withheld by her (former) fundraising
organization.
The Crafting Womb will be at our Passage to Motherhood Conference next May -
Kristan was inspired by Michel Odent and he is one of the many international
speakers participating.
