Loom Knitting For The Homeless
A few posts back I mentioned that each year when it gets cold the church I attend makes a trip to the homless shelter to pass out hats and gloves to those who need them. Last year I decided that instead of buying the hats and head warmers I would use my new hobby to help someone else. Well its that time again. I have my loom going knitting hats to hand out this year. So that more can be helped I enlisted the help of some of my friends who also took up loom knitting as a hobby. Below I am showing off a few of the hats I have knitted from what I have learned. I’ll be giving these and others to the church to pass out to the homeless. Those who receive the hats are really appreciative. Maybe you could get together with a few friends and do the same in your city.

I have been using the 11.5″(29cm) for the men, 9.5″(24cm) for the women, and the 7.5″ (19cm) for the children. I don’t use patterns for the hats because I want each one I give away to be unique. I would say that 98% of what I do is given away and I want each one to be special just as the people who receive them are.
