Crochet for charity has become an significant part of my life.  That means having the right tools for the job.  A good, sharp pair of stitching scissors with an attached needle threader and a pair of support gloves are as important as my yarn and crochet hooks.

The hat is one of 20 I'm currently making for Stitches from the Heart which sends bereavement-to-full-term baby items to over 1,400 hospitals across the US.

In the memory of friends lost to AIDS, I also crochet for Knit-a-Square, dedicated to keeping warm the over 2.4 million AIDS orphans in southern Africa. 

There are other charities for whom I crochet as well.  If you'd like any information on them, please feel free to ask me about them.
