Lovelyarns is pleased to give back to the community by sponsoring a
number of charity projects.
The Mother Bear Project is an ongoing effort. We will provide a free
pattern, and as much acrylic yarn as you like. All you have to do is
knit a bear! Then we will proudly display it on the front wall of the
shop. When the wall is full, we box up the bears and ship them
to the project headquarters in Minnesota. There, the bears get a
red heart sewn on, and then they go off to South Africa.
Lovelyarns' own Candace Blankenship is going down to help Haiti,
and will be bringing a load of bears with her.

The 500 Hats Project was an ambitious undertaking! In the Summer
of 2009, we began a campaign to have people knit and crochet
hats for every child in Arlington Elementary School here in
Baltimore. Our wonderful yarn vendors supplied a huge amount
of beautiful yarn, and our knitters got to work.
Not only did we reach our goal of 500 Hats, we actually had
enough hats so that every student in the Elementary AND Middle
schools was able to choose a hat. Teachers too!

In November of 2008, Lovely knitters and crocheters helped
make mittens for every student at James McHenry Elementary
School. Each student traced his or her hand, and we made custom
mittens to fit!

For 2010, we will be knitting for the students of Hampden's own
Elementary / Middle school, right around the corner on Chestnut Ave!
Each elementary student traced his hand on a "request form", and told
us which colors he or she would like for their hat and mittens. Some
colored them in for us!
The middle-school kids at Hampden also filled out forms for their hats, so
come and get one!
