Hope
everyone enjoyed watching the Super Bowl last night - I personally didn't care
much who won but I enjoyed the multiple hours of knitting while watching the
game.
Be sure
to check out our website at www.yarnsofhope.org - it has been updated at long
last with our logo, some new pictures and a link to our blog as well as a link
to a new online store with logo items. This store is a service provided by our
website provider. We were able to create a few basic items with the YOH logo
and they are now available for ordering by anyone. We do not make any proceeds
from the sales but it's a pretty cool way to offer a few logo items without
ordering in bulk to do so. Let me know what you think!
Here is
what is going on with YOH this week:

This is a brand new project that will be so meaningful to the parents of these
little babies who passed away. We will be making hats, gowns and blankets all
in the 2 pound or less size. Let me know if you need patterns as well as
examples of what they are looking for.
Thanks so
much to each of you ladies for all that you do for our group.
