#65532;I am a 69 year old disabled farm wife and retired special education teacher. My friend who is 66 and disable and I knit for charity. We knit thru a group known as Hillsboro Church of Christ Knitwitters. We also knit for our local elementary students who need it. We knit for the homeless (lap robes, hats, scarves, donate gloves), chemo hats, babies (blankets, sweaters, hats, etc.), for nursing homes (laprobes), and soldiers (helmet liners, laprobes, hats,scarves), and for elementary students who need hats (donate gloves). However, we are running out of yarn and we have used our own stash and yarn that has been donated to us for the past 3 or 4 years. We have just finished 100 hats for needy school children in our area.
If anyone has yarn that they want to see used in such a work of service to others, please mail yarn to Gayle Gilmer, 4042 Lost Creek Rd., Lobelville, TN 37097. We cannot use yarn that has been chewed on by animals, but any other type of yarn would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Gayle, I'll put together a box for you right away. I teach knitting in my town, and I'll send you some of my stash and see if any other knitters here can, too. Blessings!

I'd be happy to go through my stash and ship you any yarn for which I don't already have a project going. It will take a few days but I'll get out a package by the next week.

What a wonderful way to use your gifts. I'll ask for yarn from girls in our chapter.
