Be The Change You Want To See In The World – Charity Crafting

February 5, by Shellie Wilson. 5 Comments

pay-it-forward-charity-crochet

Baby it’s cold outside! Here is a fun little pay it forward idea via “Be The Change You Want To See In The World”.  This idea is making scarfs Scarves for random people on the streets by tying the scarfs Scarves to tree’s or other such places. Have you crocheted or knitted for Charity? If so share a link below and tell us about it.

The poem attached is.

“I am not lost!
Presents are optional;
you may not, or may,
It is the love in our stitches
To help make your day.

If you are cold,
or feeling blue,
wrap me around,
and feel my love to you.”

    My daughter makes fleece scarves to hand out to the homeless in Atlanta. So far she and my grandkids have handed out nearly 100 (40 on Christmas Eve while I was there in totes with other items and bottled water), but with the estimated number of homeless in downtown Atlanta being approximately 2,000, that’s just a pin prick of hope distributed. We came across mothers with preschool age children on the streets – so sad! I love this “not a lost scarf” effort – you never know how much someone will benefit from this act of kindness!

    Have you considered that the correct plural form of the word “scarf” is “scarves” ? With all due respect, blogging is writing, and writing should be grammatically accurate. Love the idea. And I also love language.

    My favorite quote and charity!
    I have been crocheting knit hats for about 5 years. They are given to patients at Texas Children’s hospital in Houston. Someone else hands out the hats; i can’t handle the emotion that comes with this. Annette and Jessica do a wonderful job with handing out the hats. I don’t want the recipients to know who made the hats. to date, about 700 hats of all sizes.
    At christmas, i also make about 70 small crocheted Santa hats (red with white rim) for the NICU . these are so easy to make and bring such smiles to parents faces! i bring my ‘bag’ where ever I go and crochet when I have a few minutes to spare. I have friends, family and a few strangers that supply me with yarn and this makes it even more wonderful!
    A village project!
    small things can make such a big difference in someones life. It reminds others that someone is thinking about you and does care about you!
    Keep up the great work in Atlanta!!!

    What a marvelous idea! I don’t knit or crochet, but I can sew a fleece scarf. Thanks for the idea! This pay it forward just gave me goose bumps!
