Each year they donate them to a local school. Children will lose their hats or scarves sometimes; some parents may not be able to replace the lost items.
The crocheters--and knitters--make sure that none of the little ones do without a hat or scarf. They make sizes for the bigger kids and teens, too. This year's beneficiaries are Copper Creek and Castlewood schools. Pictured above are office staff with principal Adam Padgett from Castlewood Elementary.
The library's crocheters and knitters are grateful that they can practice this centuries-old craft to make useful items. Come February they will spend a Saturday teaching you how to do it, too.
They are thankful they have the means and skill to create. They understand that it is better to give than to receive. It's the season for thanks and giving.
