Hats and scarves galore! These knitted items will soon be donated to those in need!
It's been several weeks now since the Americorps NCCC Blue 7 team left sunny California for hot and humid Louisana. In addition to all of the other volunteer work they are doing some of the members continue to "Knit for Need" during their spare time.
Here is the latest update from Blue 7:
"We've made it to New Orleans safely and are now working with the St. Bernard Project to help rebuild houses destroyed in Hurricane Katrina almost 5 years ago. We've really enjoyed the opportunity to work alongside volunteers and have found that everyone comes with a story and there is always something new to learn each day! We've learned that even after 5 years, much of New Orleans is still in disrepair and we are so happy to be here and help out. We're continuing to try and find time in our busy days to keep up with our knitting also!
Ilyssa has taken up learning how to knit a hat and is doing awesome at it! Michel continues to improve her already excellent knitting skills, experimenting with cool designs and patterns. And I have been busy making baby hats with pretty colors and soft yarn. It seems crazy to be knitting hats when it's so humid and hot out here! But we're sure whoever receives them back in Cali will appreciate them :) I think that's all for now!"
