Happy Holidays to All!

Now that the Holiday Season is upon us, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has crafted and donated to Casting Off the Cold all year. Your time and talent are certainly appreciated, not only by us but also by the recipients of the lovely articles we give. When we dropped off our donations to the agencies in October, each one was so thrilled to get the hats, scarves, blankets and clothing, and many of the people we saw could not believe how talented our group of knitters is. They were so happy to be able to pass them on to the young adults, young mothers with babies and small children, and others who would benefit from wearing and using them, and wanted you to know that they are very much appreciated by everyone who receives them.

Thank you all so much, once again, for taking the time to knit and crochet for us. We wish you all a joyous Holiday Season with your families and a healthy, happy New Year.  See you in January!!
