We received a package filled with hats from the National Honor Society from Skyridge High School in Utah.

We are so impressed when youth get involved in making a difference in the world- showing compassion and love for strangers is a lesson that few understand until much later in life.

We are so proud of everyone involved and thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I recently found your site online.  I have been looking for a way to use yarn leftover from projects and started looming hats.  Please accept these 10 hats of various sizes for your project.  I hope they will be useful!

We are so glad you found us online and choose to donate to Knitting Rays of Hope.  Your adorable hats will absolutely be  used to spread love, warmth & hope in this month’s delivery.

Encouraging a Giving Heart

Viviana

My 9 year old daughter recently decided that she wanted to make hats to give to others in need. So I taught her how to use the loom and above are her recent creations. She has quite the eye for colors.  She mixed yarn colors I would never had thought to do. She was definitely born with more artistic skills than I have.  She is just beginning to hone her skills and I hope to see some more creations form her in the future.

So proud to have a daughter that has the desire to give back and happy that I can help to instill the importance of giving back.
