Charity Knitting Projects
At the risk of sounding like a cross between Goody Two-Shoes and those damned solicitors that call at dinner time, we have to mention some on-going charity projects.
The hat goal we set last winter - 50 hats or pairs of mittens - is close to being met. As of April, 2008 we have 39 items. One of our teachers, who works with adult mentally disabled people, told us of the dire need for hats that are distributed to the homeless by Mental Health America, so we are now hoping for 100 items by Fall. Please keep up the good work.

We also had a customer donate a set of Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles for a local prayer shawl group, so we have a raffle going for that. Here is your chance to win a $50.00 item for $1.00.
Finally, we want to help support a group of women in Chillan, Chile who are learning to spin yarn to sell for their survival (literally). Details of this project can be found at the
Casa Ursulina link.One of our customers recently bought several skeins of the yarn from Chile to make hats and mittens for the other project. She is getting double duty for her charitable instinct.
