Crocheted Scarves are Donated

4 Crocheted scarves donated by Paula K.  Thank you Paula for your on going support of our cause.  Your scarves are so nice and warm, and large enough to be wrapped around which is always a plus.  The bright colored one will make a lady smile, while the nice darker colors are perfect for the men folks.  Many thanks and please keep up the good work.

2013 working calendar is not yet posted, but our focus for January will be slippers.  Please see slipper tab.

**Please avoid open lacy stitches.  If your fingers easily poke through the stitches and or you can easily see between the stitches, it's probably too lacy.  Please opt for a smaller crochet hook, or knitting needle and or switch stitches.  It's important our items are warm and sturdy.**
