Hats for Kiddos:
Prizes were given out. Please contact Allie if you are receiving one of the yarns shown. If you won a prize from someone else, Allie will contact the person who is sending the prize so they know to expect to hear from you soon. Message Allie on Ravelry if you have any questions!

We were so honored to donate 230 hats this year! 70 went to the Girl Scouts to be sent in care packages to Africa while the rest were divided up amongst the girls Allie works with to give to the children they work with. Thank you for making this year yet another success -- and pay attention for the updates for next years KAL!
