Iris' Loom Knit & Crochet for Poor People: NOT FOR SALE!

NOT FOR SALE: I DON'T SELL ANY of these craft items I make!

I use my Knifty Knitter and other knitting looms to make mostly hats and scarves to give away, free of any charge, to POOR PEOPLE of ALL AGES. I don't judge why they need to stay warm in the cold Winter months.
I don't care what habits they have, why they are poor or homeless, or why they cannot afford a nice, clean warm hat or scarf. I don't want them to freeze!
I also feel that getting a warm handmade gift will help them to know someone CARES about them.
My loom knitting is my hobby and also a form of "craft therapy" for me. I don't sell anything I make.
I encourage others to learn loom knitting or crochet or other types or knitting (hand needle knitting or machine knitting) and to make things to give to poor people of all ages in need. Please don't ask me to send you anything because my hands are FULL with my own projects to give to poor people in need. Just look around your own area for poor people in need, use your own craft skills (or go on-line and learn how to crochet, knit, or loom knit, or find someone to teach you how) and have fun making warm things for people in need. It is very satisfying and you can do it from your own home.
For those who want to volunteer from home without leaving home, you can do this and then do an Internet search for groups who help poor people and mail your hats, scarves, mittens, and other warm items from the post office to them. You don't have to even go far from home to do this type of volunteering. It is great for people with anxiety disorders like Agoraphobia, for example, who would otherwise not go outside to volunteer.
You can do this comfortably in your own safe, home.
For all others, you can go out and find poor people at shelters , soup kitchens, food banks, and in other places in your own communities. Even poor friends and family would appreciate a warm item made by you. So part of my having this blog is to ENCOURAGE YOU to take up a fiber craft and do what I love to do.
Since I am too poor to own my own computer, I am using friend's, family's,and the public library computer.
This is a start.
You can buy (or ask your family and friends to buy for Holiday or birthday gifts) the Knifty Knitter or other brand ) knitting looms at craft shopt, at Wal-mart, or on-line (DO an ON-LINE SEARCH for "Knifty Knitter Looms" or just "Knitting Looms").
Either way, it is very satisfying making warm items for those poor people in need.
I know they need more than warm items, but this is a start for me.

Even little things mean a lot.
Take Care, Iris
