Connie has been a dedicated volunteer at Wool for Warmth for a long time, with a deep passion for knitting and crocheting. She enjoys working with yarn, wool, and the vibrant colors. Her most challenging and time-consuming project so far has been knitting a sweater. Although she has crocheted sweaters before, knitting one was difficult because of the complex pattern.
Her motivation to knit for the homeless comes from wanting to give back to the community. She hopes her knitting shows the homeless that people care about them. She shared a touching story she had heard about a young man who received a knitted hat and was moved to tears because it reminded him of one his grandmother used to make.
When creating sets of hats and scarves, Connie is mindful of the colors she chooses, believing that the recipients should have a combination they love. She takes pride in her work and wants those who wear her creations to feel proud as well.
Like Connie, numerous talented knitters and crocheters contribute their skills to make beautiful hand-knitted items for the homeless. Although we cannot name everyone due to the large number of contributors, Wool for Warmth deeply appreciates each and every one of them.
