Messages from the "Occupy Wool Street" project

Box of warm things bound for New York

WBAI and I would like to thank everyone who participated in Occupy Wool Street by creating, donating, and spreading the word. It's been an overwhelming success, with many more submissions than we ever imagined we'd get....

Again, many thanks to all who took part. It's been heartening to see handmade hats, scarves, gloves, and such coming in from all over the country, including from the Occupy Berkeley Solidarity Knit-Ins, and one gentleman in the Bronx who himself knitted two or three boxes of beautiful cold weather gear.

Thank you all.

We both want to especially thank you and your group for the enthusiasm and kindness.

Thanks,

Kimberly Mass
