As hot as it has been the past couple of days, it's hard to believe it will ever be cool again. But school starts in 3 weeks, and winter is just around the corner after that. For the last 3 winters we have been collecting handmade hats for the homeless in our county and Baltimore City. This year we have decided to concentrate on children. We would like to ask each customer to make one hat for a needy child. We have arrangements for them to be distributed to the elementary schools in our county. One ball of Cascade 220 or Encore will make 2 hats. Use up your scraps and go crazy with stripes, learn a new stitch, try some cables or intarsia. We have lots of patterns in the shop, or use an old favorite.
We all know knitters are the most generous crafters around! And won't it be nice to make something for someone who will really appreciate it! Keep track on the sidebar as our numbers grow.
Thanks from the Staff of Ewenique Yarns.

Great idea!! I have been working on a sweater for the Guideposts Magazine's Knit for Kids program too.. That one just concentrates on sweaters.
I cannot tell you what a lovely visit I had to your shop. It was nice to meet you, your daughter and the other knitters and crocheters. I will tell anyone who will listen to me what a great shop you have! See you soon - Teddi
