What have I been up to? Making Caps for the Capitol!


I know that I haven't written in about a month, so let me catch you up-to-date. I have been busy crocheting and knitting Caps for the Capitol for the Save the Children Organization (www.savethechildren.org). If you have not heard about this special organization, they are asking all crocheters and knitters to make caps for newborns and then on December 9th, the caps will be sent to President Bush to try to get funds targeted for helping newborns survive by covering their heads to keep them warm. I have recently joined "Curves" (weight-loss program) and have made proposed a challenge for crocheters and kniters to make a cap for every pound that they lose. To-date, I have lost 25 pounds and have made 34 caps, plus additional ones from the members that took my challenge. If you are interested, please go to their website and download the free patterns.
