131 newborn super-cute hand-knit wool socks ...
142 newborn super-cute hand-knit and crocheted wool hats ...
We also received a few hundred fantastic wool hats, socks, and mittens in other sizes. Thank you to all the generous and talented donors. We did not have time to sort and count everything.
Wanted to let you know that we are not yet showered by too many newborn items, so if you were worried that everyone would be knitting and crocheting only for babies, no fretting yet. We welcome more wool hats and and socks sized for newborns for the hospital. Please check our website guidelines for measurements.
Thought you would want to see this message about these newborn hats and socks knit in memory of Sgt Zachary Tellier ...
I found this tag in my file from 2008 ... thank you to our long-time knitter for this continuing tribute ...
We headed out to explore the transformed Art Deco furniture mart that is now home to Twitter. Mind-blowing changes to the area where we have been sorting and packing for Afghanistan since late 2001 in the basement of the Friends/AFSC building. Inside the historic SF furniture mart, we were greeted by this mural of women spinning and quilting ... looks like a WPA mural, although the security guard couldn't confirm ...
Twitter on the right. Dolby on the left. AFSC stuck in between the huge buildings filled with tech workers.
On the north side of Market Street, the last century ... with our favorite vegetarian place, where Judith always suggests not over-tipping since the funds probably go to the Mothership. Sometimes after packing, we stop in for lentil soup, NEATloaf, 9-grain bread, berry tea, and some knitting time. Hope the place never changes.
My, this post got long and meandering ... hopefully, interesting though. Why don't you tell us about your a4A projects here and something about your day or world? A chance for far-flung a4A friends to connect.

Hi - glad you are still accepting newborn socks as I wove in the ends on one pair last night and turned the heel on the first sock of another pair. I also want to try a cable baby hat pattern I found that looks good and not too tricky. I would have one more little green pair to send but my youngest granddaughter snagged it for her yet to be born little sister.
Thanks, Judy!
Looking through the notes ... I see we received 14 pairs of socks from Edinburgh, Scotland!
Hello, Edinburgh, and thank you!
