Are you still taking hat/beanies? I'm in the process of using up my ENORMOUS stash. Last year I couldn't find anyone to take them. Finally donated to our local women's shelter but here in Texas there's not a big need for them. Please email me if you are still collecting them. I couldn't afford to ship them last year but this year I will be able to. Only have 7 at this time but plenty more to come. chandlersandi6@gmail.com will make them all summer for winter delivery. Thanks.
