This is the time of year when donations naturally slow down. Or should I say have historically slowed down. Many people don't knit or crochet in warmer months, yarn sticks to your hands and who wants something hot on their laps....I get that, but would suggest making other things vs not making anything until bad weather comes again. I've also found sitting at a table and having the item on the table is somewhat helpful vs having the item in your lap, particularly a larger item, however.........for those of us who knit/crochet in front of the tv, that method may not work.
We have had a wetter than normal spring here in Central Ohio, while many parts of The US really need our rain. Too bad we can't share it some how. It would eliminate the flooding in some areas and the drought conditions elesewhere. We can't really knit or crochet something that keeps someone dry in these wetter than normal conditions, but no doubt our hats are often used in the evenings. As a result of being wetter, it's also cooler.
