Caps for Good

Back in October I posted about a really good cause, caps for good. (http://deedabbler.blogspot.com/2010/10/caps-for-good.html) I knew I wanted to get some caps made and sent off because I have several partial skeins of yarn that I could use in this endeavor.  Finally, after the holidays ended, I was able to begin.  Although they will accept caps until Feb. 28, I am going to work through the month of January only.  So far I have 4 caps made.  I will post a picture of all the caps before I send them off.

Caps for Good

Do you like to crochet or knit?  Your handmade cap can save a life! 

This fall there is a great program that is collecting handmade hats for babies born in developing countries.   Something as simple as a knit or crocheted cap can help the baby keep warm, which is key to helping newborns survive. 
Making a cap is easy - and fast!  It only takes 1 oz. of medium weight yarn...most knitters/crocheters have leftover yarns from other projects that would be of sufficient length to create a cap.
