Late last year we attended a benefit for Share Our Selves, an amazing organization that is helping the homeless and economically challenged of Orange County with food, clothing, medical care and a variety of social services. We wanted to do more for this group, and looked into volunteering, but the openings available at this time required more time on our feet (on an unforgiving surface) than we felt either of our backs would tolerate. It was my Aunt Anne who suggested that crocheting hats and other cold weather accessories might be one way to help. I jumped on the idea and in a couple months time have made thirty two scarves, hats in mens and womens sizes, as well as headbands in womens and child sizes, all from twelve skeins of yarn in three neutral colors. At Aunt Anne's request, here is a picture of a few of the original group of pieces, plus my first attempt at a kid's cap, done in a new color of yarn. Since she has offered to send me some of her collection of yarns, I'm more than happy to share a bit of my handwork with her here!
