We will be putting up a bulletin board display outside our office the week of the 1st to inform everyone. Iris - Well, for International Charity Crafting Week, I will be making a tube scarf (loom knitted) to donate to a homeless shelter in The Fall (for cold weather). I am using the small balls of yarn I have from previous projects. Laura A. - The Preemie Project will be focusing on bereavement items this week. We feel that bereavement items are often overlooked. So we want to make this a week of rememberance. The Preemie Project's volunteers will be setting personal, private goals for the week. Erica H - Hi, Bev. I've been a fan of your site since January, when I picked knitting (back) up. In memory of my son, Paul, I've been making baby hats for the UCSF ICN where he lived his short life. July 31st is the one-year anniversary of his death. On August 1st, I plan to deliver my completed hats (blue ones, white ones, variegated ones, pink ones) to the hospital, during Charity Crafts week. I will also ship a few off to The Preemie Project. I may do one or two other things, too. I still have a bit more yarn to use up, but so far, I've made 73 baby hats in varying sizes from X-Small Preemie to Full-Term Newborn.
