Hats to Youth Homes

Shown here is our fearless leader - Peggy, holding a "Thank You" banner signed by some recipients of our handmade hats. Peggy is Alamo Women's Club's liaison to four Youth Homes in our area.

We made/delivered twenty-seven hats to four of the homes and gave three to foster kids.

St Anthony's delivery

With a little help from our friends, plus lots of coffee and pleasant chat, we were able to deliver 70 scarves and 43 hats to St Anthony's for distribution along with Christmas dinner.

Only 4 of our group were able to go on the delivery (and lunch) excersion..... to those of you who were not able to join us.....we missed you.

Mystery Scarf

The lovely scarf was spotted by Barbara in a wonderful yarn shop in San Luis Obispo.  Barbara tells us it looks the same on the front and back.

 Does anyone know how this was done?

 

Getting around

We have been busy getting around.  The following photos are from a lovely yarn store that Peggy visited in Plano, TX. 

 

Many Thanks...

To the Los Altos High School knitting group called The Knit Together Project for their contribution to our collection of hats.

Since their inception they have knitted hats for the homeless and hats that they sell at football games and other events, in the school colors. The money received from the sales has been donated to Burma to help rebuild a school, Haiti after hurricane Katrina and other communities in need of help.

We have been busy

Peggy, is shown here with Kim Clivers, a counselor, dropping off hats and pillowcases for the foster children under the care of Youth Homes.

After lunch with the group, Anne, Harriet, and Barbara were at Kaiser Hospital in
Walnut Creek to deliver 45 baby caps as well as adult and child hats to the chemo department.
