I am a 69 year old disabled retired special education teacher. My friend who is 66 and disable and I knit for charity. We knit thru a group known as Hillsboro Church of Christ Knitwitters. We also knit for our local elementary students who need it. We knit for the homeless (lap robes, hats, scarves, donate gloves), chemo hats, babies (blankets, sweaters, hats, etc.), for nursing homes (laprobes), and soldiers (helmet liners, laprobes, hats,scarves), and for elementary students who need hats (donate gloves). However, we are running out of yarn and we have used our own stash and yarn that has been donated to us for the past 3 or 4 years. We have just finished 100 hats for needy school children in our area.
If anyone has yarn that they want to see used in such a work of service to others, please mail yarn to Gayle Gilmer, 4042 Lost Creek Rd., Lobelville, TN 37097. We cannot use yarn that has been chewed on by animals, but any other type of yarn would be much appreciated. Thanks.
If anyone wants to see some of our work, please go to fb page or email gilmergd@gmail.com
quilter, do knitting as a volunteer for various charities |

Dear Gayle,
Bless you and your friend for making such wonderful stuff for people in need. I took a peek at your FB page and saw the nice hats! Alas I have been trying to take up knitting again, but am just not able to devote as much time to it as I would like. I would like to send you some yarn, but I won't make it to the store until after Labor Day. I'll let you know when the package is on its way!
