I am currently looking into some possible new directions for SOME of our charity knitting and crocheting. Our primary contact at Homeless Families Foundation is gone, and I'm not yet totally sure how that impacts our relationship with them. I don't want to speculate on that or these other new possibilities until I have more information. However, our work does continue in earnest with supplying other shelters and our friend Rae who cares for the Homeless in a very personal way.
So, please stay tuned and continue to let your heart guide you with you yarn, your hook and your knitting needles.

Please note the category of shawl, shrugs, ponchos etc has reached our little goal, same as last year of 1.........but please please please.........don't let that stop you from making more of these items. Likewise note we've definitely reached our goal for rain poncho's. Rain ponchos's serve many purposes so we will probably still need some....down the line, but not for awhile.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
Glad to hear from you! Glad the blanket is getting bigger. I have one scarf done, working on another scarf. I will also loom a hat or two before sending them off.
