[Nfb-krafters-korner] gift to the needy

[Denise Shaible]

Thank you so much for this.  I'd love to get into something like this but, I 
feel I need to improve on my skills before I'd give things.  It makes me 
wonder if there are any folks at my church who knit or do other crafts. 
Well, that may be something to consider for the New Year.  I'll let you know 
what I find out and maybe you can give me some ideas on how to do it.  I 
mean, I'd like to get to a point where I could sell stuff but, giving is 
always close to my heart.

Regards,

Denise

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
