I hope the stress of the holidays hasn’t bogged ya’ll down. I thought I would be having a worse time myself but the ironic thing is that I have been on the way to feeling sooooo much better! For reals though. So much better.
It took awhile for me to feel up to hookin’ but I am definitely tired of being benched so I’m trying to find the perfect pattern to get me going again.
So far I have made 4 baby Princess Leia hats for folks and actually sold some of them. (What, what?!) But other than that I have not had a lot of luck selling my wares. So I have tons of hats just sitting around and collecting dust. It’s a shame really. I’ve taken to just giving them away. My mom has been giving some flak about it but I don’t really care as long as someone enjoys them.
So that lead me to think. Are there charities I could donate to? I went looking and there really isn’t! What the hell?! Why would homeless shelters or children’s foundations not want warm and fun winter hats? All they want is money or furniture. So if anyone knows of a legitimate charity who accepts handmade items, please let me know!
I am located in Minnesota and I knit hats and mittens to donate to kids. You may want to search for “charity knitting” and your location. You may also want to ask at the knitting shops in your area. I hope you find a good home for your creations 🙂
Ask the knitting shops…great idea! Thank you!
