I often go to estate sales and there is yarn and knitting supplies. Can I get these things to donate to people who can knit? The prices and selection is great! I cook dinner at Simpson shelter a few times each year.

Yes! Please keep sending hats in. The early deadline is so we can get critical mass of hats to distribute early on, but we keep distributing all winter long. Thanks!

Is there a circumference range that we should shoot for? I'm one of those numbers focused knitters :)

Looks like you guys are having fun, huh? I wish I was there, too! Since I was a kid, my grandmother would teach me how to knit hats and purses. Now, I'm kinda addicted to knitting. I knit almost everyday or whenever I'm not that busy. My favorite piece is my bag made of brown sheep yarn. Ahh! They look so adorable and so classy!

Using your talent in knitting for helping is good. It will be a huge help for the homeless charity of your choice.

Cool photos! Can't wait to see this year's hats. I wasn't a hat knitter last year, and I am a new one this year. Now I know what I'll be doing all summer long when it's too hot to make quilts!

I'm so happy to see you doing this! I, too, have been bit by the knit a hat for the homeless bug. I'm doing it a little differently, but the heart of helping the homeless is the same. In September I knitted a hat a day for the October fall festival in our town. I sold about 30 hats and donated the proceeds ($1,000+) to a local charity. I am now on a campaign to knit a hat a day (or really 365 hats in a year) until the next fall festival. I always use wool in my hats because after knitting them I felt them. They sold easily at $30 to $50 depending on the yarns and embellishments used. I'd like to see similar campaigns going on across the U.S. These are tough times; we can all help a little.

I was there, from Longmont, Colorado for GA. What fun, and what a unique and special LYS!

I made three hats at GA for the drive - one blue watchcap (contributed at StevenBes) a maroon tam left for Donna at the GA volunteers, and a second blue watchcap that is in the mail. I'm happy to help warm folks on those cold Minnesota streets this winter.
