If anyone would like to help?

I am starting my charity crocheting, FINALLY! Had to get organized, between moving and sorting, i had to get my yarn gathered up, and take stock. Still deciding on the name for my charity, though. Some finished items will go to a local domestic violence shelter, some items will go to U of VA Hospital in Charlottesville, Va. If the locations of my donated items change, i will definitely update on it. I will also be taking photos of finished items and posting on a blog as well. It will be a slow proccess at first, because this is all new to me, but i feel that speed will come with experience. :)

I will be making:

  • Hats for adults, preemies, and probably for children, once i find an easy quick pattern for a child's head size
  • Scarves for children and adults, fringe-free
  • Maybe neckwarmers for adults and kids
  • Booties for preemies
  • Blankets for preemies, maybe children

My goal is to make items that are comfortable and easy to care for, wash and wear kind of things, that are comforting and warm,. Which is why I’m skipping the fringe on the scarves. Any color, any fiber is great, the only thing I’m looking to avoid is the novelty stuff. Leftovers, scraps are fine as well, it doesn’t need to be the whole skein or hank, I can find a use for it all. If anyone is interested in donating, PM me. Thank you
