Hats for the Homeless Update

You know those people who get things done? Those people who make everything seem effortless and easy-peasy? I am not one of those people but Jean, a.k.a. Scottishlamb is.

By knitting pretty much non-stop while I was in Texas for a week my mom, Carrie and I managed to knit up 10 very simple hats. Mom and Carrie have kept at it and have four or five more ready to put in the mail any day now.

Scottishlamb has collected 105 hand knit hats for the homeless so far and the are absolutely lovely. I stole the above photograph from her blog so ya'll can see them. The hats my family and I knitted are going to look...sad next to all those beauties. 

But in this case, I think it's a hat's ability to cover a head and hold in warmth that counts, so I am still proud of the time we spent knitting.

Baby, it's cold outside.

Shareholder Jean- Scottishlamb on rav- is heading up a hat drive for the homeless. Isn't that lovely? How many of us don't have an extra skein of yarn or an hour to knit up a hat? I am going to try to get two hats down on my flights to and from Dallas next week and I would love it if some of you would knit one up too!

Read all about the details on Jean's blog but be sure and let me know if you're in.
