Hats for Haiti
Hello Laurie, Anne-Katrin, Caroline, Jacqueline, Galen et al
Thank you for being brave hearts and contributing captions to the BEK photo; other readers have told me they will make hats for Haiti but coming up with a caption was hard for them to do, even for me. And yes, it's really about Haiti.
Please email me your postal addresses and I'll gladly send you the promised yarn; we'll put your knittings up for sale in the stand as you finish them. Tell me of your favorite charities too. My father worked for the Red Cross.
CNN has been covering Haiti while the other networks seem to slowly ignore the continuing pain as time goes on. TV correspondents in Haiti have been concerned about their viewers switching to the Winter Olympics now underway; and warning that international aid and medical personal will be called home before the crisis is over. Our help will arrive when it's needed most: when the world has moved on to other interests. What else can we do.
Thanks,
Eugene
PS: caption or not, if you want to knit a hat for Haiti, or know someone who does, email me your postal address and I'll happily send you a skein of yarn.

My beautiful skein just came... The same color green as my eyes! I'm very excited about making a hat for Haiti! Thank you for giving and helping me give too!

It has taken me a long time to come up with a caption. My 12 year-old daughter and I came up with this:
"Well, it's on to greener pastures...in a few months, that is"
I would love to knit a hat for your Hats for Haiti effort. If you are still offering skeins of yarn for this project, that would be wonderful.
We're shearing Monday; it snowed a foot today and more comes tomorrow. We're really looking for sun and those greener pastures.
Thanks!
Galen
Are you still doing hats for Haiti? I am part of a knitting group and we've done charity projects before. If you're looking for a group of enthusiastic knitters, let me know!
