Via Whip Up, here's the Knit a River project, "the best petition you'll ever knit!" Did you know that 1.1 billion people (that's with a B) don't have access to clean drinking water? Water issues affect the daily lives of women and children disproportionately. Did you know that most women and children in the world spend most of their time hauling water home from a source? Knitting a square is literally the least we can do.

And Honey, they have funky-looking London-based knitting meetings!

They also have a pattern for a fab loopy scarf and a fruit bowl from plastic bags.

I've emailed them for details of the club, and I'm going to knit a square for the appeal too.

Anybody know of any neat wavy stitch patterns for this?

I'd like to knit a square that has a wavy pattern in the stitches, not finding anything so far online.
