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 - has been achieved, and then some. As of September, 2008 we have more than 100 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 will be donating them soon, and starting on another round of collecting for that organization. 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 had a raffle for that item. A knitter in Brown County won the set.
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.
