Holidays for the Homeless

This year for Christmas, I am donating handmade, crochet hats to the homeless in my area.

This project was inspired by seeing a set of statues in town that had donated hats and scarves on them during the winter.

I have taken the project and held it close to my heart. I started making hats 3 days ago and have 10 made so far. This is out of my own personal stockpile of yarn and I can't do many more out of the yarn that I do have here at home.

This compelled me to ask for yarn donations and the response has been overwhelming. I've had about 7 people say they will donate yarn to my cause and this is amazing.

Each and every person that has donated yarn is making people a little warmer during the winter months with hats that they wouldn't have been able to purchase on their own.

Each person that has made a donation of at least one skein of yarn has made 2 or more people warmer.

If you see this post and would like to donate yarn to The Chronicles of Yarnia (www.facebook.com/ChronicleOfYarnia) feel free to contact me on the facebook page and I'll get your information and you'll be able to donate yarn to this cause.

Bear in mind that I am the only person making the hats and it may take me a few days to get started with your yarn if you do make a donation, but be assured that your yarn donations WILL go to the homeless.
