[Nfb-krafters-korner] gift to the needy

[Susan Roe]

75% of what I knit, crochet and loom are donated monthly to the Web of Hope 
conducted via the Red Cross.  They provide the yarn and the volunteers do 
what they do best.  I have been doing this for 10 years and have donated 
over 500 items including:

throws
baby afgans
baby hats/booties
baby snug sacks
baby cotton bibbs
adult/children hats
adult/children slippers
mittens
scarfs
wristers or fingerless gloves
leggings
ear warmers
head bands
