There is a thread on Ravelry about donating pattern proceeds to aid for Pakistan. Other people who have pledged money can be found there. There are calls for a special tag to be added, similar to the Help-for-Haiti tag that was implemented at the beginning of the year. I ask that any of you on Ravelry add your voice to the call for such a tag. There seems to be a distinct lack of interest just now in helping the people of Pakistan in the same way... :( I haven't even seen much about it on internet news feeds that I subscribe to, it's so sad.
Even if you don't want to buy any of my patterns, please donate to whatever charity you want who is helping the people of Pakistan at this disastrous time. The people there desperately need help. I would like to do my own small bit to help, which is why I am donating 50% of my pattern sales.

Have made a purchase. :-) I'm currently trying to get the test knitting done and dusted for a new design of mine so I can donate a portion of the sales to UNICEF. There's definitely a lack of interest compared to Haiti. Whether it's because it's the summer and people aren't aware of the news as much, or that it seems further away, I don't know. But will be doing what I can anyway.
Thank you Kate!!
