Calling all knitters...
This may seem like a random post, but if you can knit, we need you. My cousin, Jordan, is a teacher in a low-income school in Denver, Colorado. She teaches third grade and has more than a few students who can't even pay for lunches. Last year, she noticed that many of the kids couldn't afford hats, so this year, she's on a mission. She's running a "Knit for Paris" campaign, asking all knitters she knows to contribute a kid's hat, if they can knit one in their spare time. Her goal is to be able to provide every kid in her class with a hand-knit hat. I know some of you knit, so I thought I'd post this to see if we can't get even more hats out to Colorado. If you're interested and willing to knit a hat or two, let me know. If you'd like to see her post, you can visit her blog at http://www.lucysknits.blogspot.com. These hats don't need to be made out of fancy yarn or patterns. They simply need to keep a third grader warm. Oh, and if anyone would like lessons in knitting, let me know. It could be fun to spend a day all knitting together for a great cause! And spread the word. Wouldn't it be great to outfit all of the third grade classes?

what a great cause. Do they accept other hats (like old ones that a large melon has outgrown)? Do they have to be knit?
I've got a few hats that fit this category...
I'll ask about donating other hats, and I'll post a response in a bit. Hang tight...
Dear Kelly,
I would like to knit hats for you, but I would need some lessons. Could that be arranged?...Grandma
