An Olympic Challenge: Hats! August 6, 2008

CIK President Mindy Aller issued a challenge to all members at the August meeting on Tuesday night: knit hats for charity!  We mere mortals not blessed with the physical talents to be competing in Beijing can still compete for bragging rights while watching Team USA!  Grab a set of dpns or your favorite circular needle and cast-on right now – you don’t have to wait for the Opening Ceremony.  Hats of all styles, colors, and sizes are encouraged: chemo caps, preemie/newborn caps, warm hats for young and young-at-heart.  Bring your finished hats to the September 2nd meeting and they will be collected by CIK’s charity coordinator Robin Fulton to disburse to metro organizations in need.Do you have a favorite hat pattern or tip you’d like to share?  Please share in the comments!
