Crafty Angels Donation Swap-Crochet & Knit

For this swap, you will be making a scarf or hat to send to Crafty Angels. This organization makes and distributes scarves, hats, socks, afghans, quilts, "spa cloths" (dish cloths), to the homeless, the teen mothers, and the domestically abused individuals in the Chicago area. They also support area churches with prayer or comfort afghans or shawls.

For this swap you will crochet or knit either a scarf or hat to donate to this charity. You will take a photo of the item you are sending and send the photo to your partner. An actual photo, not an email. You will send the actual item to @crochetjunkie Make sure to include a note or card about yourself that will be attached to each item before sent. Hopefully we will be able to get a nice picture on the Crafty Angels blog showing all the items we have sent. I am going to request that anyway.

Some stipulations:

• Be sure the scarves are at least 5 inches wide by 60 inches long. This way they can be wrapped around the neck a couple times.

• They are really looking for "dull, drab" colors for the homeless men. These are colors like blue, green, grey, brown, etc. And the homeless men prefer solid colors. This helps stop people from wanting to steal the scarves.

• Women's scarves can be any color. Any color a woman would like.

• Make the hats long enough they completely cover the ears. If the recipient has to roll it up, oh well, but we want to be sure they are long enough to keep the ears warm.

• If you want to do a hat/scarf set, you are more then welcome to!

Check out the website for any other questions about what they are looking for.

Swap particulars:

• Must have a rating of 4.9 or higher.

• No recent no sends without an explanation.

• Must have at least 5 type 3 swaps you have been rated for.

Any questions, pm me.
