To tie the fiber arts to the gardening thing, did you know that some people
who keep sheep use fleece from the sheep as mulch in the garden? If it
isn't clean enough to be worth preparing and spinning, that's what it's good
for! A friend just took all my leftovers to mulch her roses.

I belong to the Twisted Threads Fiber Arts Guild of Raleigh.

The guild has decided that an appropriate ongoing community project would
be for us to knit and crochet chemo hats. There are so many hospitals in
the area, and several of our members are oncology
nurses.

Well, my fingers are numb, but today I posted 40 of the 200 books I
pledged to the Twisted Threads guild about. I promised to donate half the
proceeds of the first 200 paperbacks I sell on eBay to Twisted Threads for
yarn to use to make chemo hats. (The other half of the proceeds will just
about cover the listing and selling fees, especially if I have to re-list
any).

I need to build up a lot of positive eBay feedback, and desperately need
to get literally hundreds of books out of my house (it's so hard to let
go!), so it looks like a win/win/win if anyone wants to support the guild
making chemo hats, and likes used paperbacks!

If you'e interested (or just curious), go on eBay and do a search on the
term RDUchemo to see the available books. I put RDUchemo in the title of
every listing.

Bid on as many as you want, get a little crazy, the starting prices are
less than a used bookstore would credit me for them, so they should be
good deals. If you are in the Raleigh-Durham area, I will meet you
somewhere to deliver your books in person.

Who knows, if they sell well, maybe I will pledge half the profits from
another 200 books too!
