Heavenly Help
Knitting Hats for Babies in Russia
"I originally started making newborn hats for my
local hospital.
I wanted to learn to loom knit and I love to be creative.
This was an opportunity to combine the things that I love
with a service project. Seva (a Punjabi term for a work of service) is an
important part of me.
I have been to India and have seen the poverty
there.
My thought was that, maybe, Russia was the same way.
I've heard Father Mike's stories about Russia and the
people there.
When I heard that father Mike was coming to Alaska , I started right
away in making hats.
I felt there was a great need and it would be cool to
think that babies in Russia
would be wearing my hats.
I told myself that no matter what happened, knitting hats
was a good idea, even if Father Mike had no room in his suit case.
I would just have more hats to take to India with me
when I go back on my next trip.
It takes my about 1 hour to make a newborn hat and two
hours to make a small toddler hat.
So, in the time of about one movie, I can get two to
three hats done."
