from the Lion Brand web site:
“Each month Lion Brand features a charity that is asking for you, the knitters and crocheters of the world, to help make a difference. This month, we highlight the Knitting for Noggins program, collecting knit and crochet hats for children of all ages — and even their parents — being treated at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH).
The Knit One, Save One campaign brings knitters and crocheters of all ages together to draw attention in Washington, D.C. to the nearly 4 million newborn deaths that occur each year in developing countries.
By keeping a baby warm, your cap can save a life. Just download the Action Kit and you’ll get a variety of easy patterns for knitters or crocheters, as well as instructions for writing a letter to the new President.

(pop. 676). Twenty years later, he did it again. But this time those same residents did more
than pose. With extraordinary honesty, they shared their memories, fantasies, failures,
secrets and fears with writer Stephen G. Bloom. The result is a riveting collection of
personal stories and portraits that tell much more than the tale of one small Midwestern
town. Because beneath Oxford’s everyday surface, lives a complex and wondrous
community that embodies the American spirit. “
“Records were melted and sculpted to form a cascading wave, dotted with bursts of colorful labels.”
