Knitting not only relaxes me,
it also brings a feeling of being at home.
-Magdalena Neuner
I have been knitting a lot this summer. A LOT. Like my fingers are on fire. I knitted Alicia's bunny dress and a gorgeous cowl and, most recently, hats.
Hats, hats, hats. Big hats, baby hats, hunting hats, soft hats, and... 'homeless hats'.
You may remember a few years back when Renee, the homeless lady, moved in with me for a while. Since, I've had homeless friends who have shared their hearts and their concerns- safety, having enough, family, being wanted. (Turns out, we're all the same.) But you know one thing I keep hearing? That people need socks. Underwear. And with fall quickly approaching, hats and gloves.
I feel as though I need to do something. I need to do more.
If you're a knitter/crocheter and want to help, I know folks who will gladly accept your donations of handmade hats and gloves. Please get in touch if you're interested.
