Marjean,
Got your email and emailed you my address. Don't want you to be miserable if you are allergic to wool. So sorry! Take care and stay away from anything that makes you sneeze :)

Do any of you have a problem with bumping the deadline up?
The team who was delivering the hats cancelled their trip due to a medical problem and other reasons but another team will be taking the hats sooner. I am quite excited about who they will be going to. A community health team will deliver them to rural hospitals in northern Mongolia in the Darhad valley. This team works with local physicians in several villages and they are excited to deliver the hats for us. I am just waiting for an exact deadline but it looks like we will need to get the hats gathered near the end of April instead of May. There is a chance that they will be going again and will want to take hats at a later date also so if you can't meet the April deadline keep going and we will get them there on the next trip.
Thanks so much to everyone who is helping. The hats will be well appreciated and may even save a tiny life by keeping their little body warm. Hope you are all having fun knitting or crocheting the hats.

Megan,
Thanks! We will just give them whatever we can gather and that will be good. I will post the new exact date of the deadline ASAP when I get it. Can't you just imagine the cute little babies your hats will be given to? Take Care and thanks again for helping.

Just a note for everyone helping. I looked up the circumference size for 0-6 month hats and some of the information I gathered says 16 1/2" instead of 15". I'm sure either size can be used but since I knit sort of loose mine will most likely be turning out around 16 1/2" instead of 15". Happy knitting or crocheting!

Carol,
I got a huge envelope full of tiny hats that are adorable today and so many too. Some are tiny but they will be going to the rural hospitals so I think it will be nice for them to have something for preemies. Thanks so much. I can't believe all the work that is going into this from wonderful farmgirls.

Hi Farmgirls,
Anyone still working on hats? The deadline has changed to the end of April since the team taking them will be leaving sooner than the one planned earlier. They will only be able to take 60 hats. If we go over that number which it looks like we will thanks to some awesome donations the rest may be sent to One HEART Nepal if that is O.K. with everyone. Let me know if that is a problem for anyone and if it is I will make sure that your hats go to Mongolia. Thanks to everyone working on this project.
