       I bought some very soft and thin yarn but working with it to
       make something adult size is a nightmare. However, perfect for
       making little hats for premature babies. Once I go through my
       stash, I should have about 25 to 30 little caps I'll bring to
       the children's hospital.

       I belong to an organization called “Cover Girls” that donates
       homemade blankets (quilted, crocheted, knitted) to various local
       children’s charities.  For example, the housing facilities for
       St. Jude Hospital receive several hundred blankets from us
       yearly.
       Blankets are brought to a monthly meeting, where they are
       inventoried and organized for distribution later by the group
       leader.  Once in a while, we get a thank you note from an
       organization, but most of time, once you donate a blanket, you
       simply have to have faith that it will find its way to the right
       child.
       It’s been interesting (sometimes heart-breaking) to learn about
       the organizations that exist to help children.  We donate to a
       couple of places that care for emotionally disturbed children.
       These places will accept quilts but not crocheted or knitted
       blankets.  Warning: the reason may be TMI:
       [spoiler]The children will unravel the yarn blankets and attempt
       to hang themselves. [/spoiler]

       Wow, that's great your group can do so much, and I love the name
       of it! That is sad about the yarn blankets, but I am glad there
       are other places those ones can be donated.

       And thanks for using the SPOILER - now I know how that works!
       But I'll probably forget as I don't usually have anything like
       that to tell anyone!
