owner, Roger was involved in another charity project. After
some coaching from his fellow crochet buddies, Afghans
Etc. For Charity was born.
The goal of our group is to brighten the lives of children
with cancer, and to put smiles on their little faces. All in all
we are here to help all children, spreading happiness and
touching their lives if only for a moment. After all it's about
the children.
Roger, owner and founder of Afghans Etc. and has been
crocheting for over 30 years. His mother was a major
influence in his learning to crochet. Although his first
attempt to learn failed but he was determined. So he later
went out and bought a book, "Teach Yourself To Crochet",
and taught himself to crochet. Roger can make anything
crocheted from a pattern and has on occasion made his
own patterns.
So with the help and support of his friends and peers he
continues to crochet and run his Yahoo group and helps
manage this website.
Here at Afghans Etc all the crocheted items are made and
donated to various organizations. Some of which include
the Victory Junction Gang Camp in the Piedmont Triad of
North Carolina. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South
Dakota. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis,
Tennessee. The Dorothy Day House in Memphis,
Tennessee. Roger is always looking for and adding to his
growing list of charities. If there is a child in need Roger
will be there with hook in hand and yarn by his side
crocheting for the children.
So if this sounds like something you would like to do and
be a part of we will love to have you. Young and old, male
and female, all are welcome. So get you're yarn and grab
your hook, and let's get to crocheting for the children.
