These hats and scarfs will be taken to a charity called Common Ground Worldwide. Knitters and crocheters are called "Earth Angels" they are folks, who generously donate their time & talent to create various handmade, warm items of clothing for homeless families and survivors of domestic violence.
A lot of these items were a result of teaching myself how to knit. The first hat I learned to knit was way too small, but it turned out great for a child, I just added a pompom. Sometimes I want to try a new pattern so I will knit it first with acrylic yarn. I think this is kind of a win win for both me and hopefully the person receiving it. I get to play with yarn and hopefully the item will bring some warmth to the person receiving it.
The yarn I use is great for washing and drying so there is no need to worry how to care for the item. I hope who ever receives the hats and scarfs will get good use of them.
San Luis Obispo County has 3,700 homeless men, women, and children. It makes me sad.
I love to knit for whatever reason. I will continue to knit for charity for as long as I can.
