Knit One, Save One

I was wasting time on the internet the other day when I stumbled upon the "Knit One, Save One" campaign. It's sponsored by Save The Children. This point is to make hats for babies in developing countries. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to lose a child because he or she didn't have something as simple as a hat. A hat that would take me an hour to knit. It seems simple enough. They have patterns to either knit or crochet. Then you send it to Save The Children by Dec. 31, and they distribute the hats to families all over the world. I have a bunch of friends who are going to do this with me. I'll send all the hats in together. It will be really nice to give to people who desperately need it this holiday season. For more information, go to http://www.savethechildren.org/programs/health/child-survival/survive-to-5/knit-one-save-one.html

It would be totally awesome if everyone made a hat and sent it in. Think of the incredible difference we could make!
