Knitting Christmas at Sea


This is a plea for the Christmas at Sea Program thru the Seamen's Church. I have been knitting hats and scarves for this worthy program in hopes of getting the numbers that are needed. Can you/would you all help? I am part of the Ravelry.com group that supports this mission, as well as the Graceful Hands Charitable Knitting group at Grace and St. Stephan's Episcopal Church in the Springs which also knits for this group and local persons in need. Here's the link to the Seamen's Institute site if you want further information. http://www.seamenschurch.org/484.asp

Mariners Scarves: 4506
We need: 494 more!
Mariners Caps: 3205
We need: 895 more!
Seafarer’s Sets: 5752

Socks, Vests & Helmets: 1774
