CHALLENGE #10  -  2016

ABUSED WOMEN’S AID IN CRISIS
Anchorage, Alaska

We are heading north again to visit at AWAIC in Anchorage, Alaska. As they have in the past they were pleased that more warm slippers would be heading their way. The shelter is at or over capacity 6 months a year. We know it can get very cold in Alaska so let's make sure that their slippers are really warm. We can do this by making sure that we use smaller sizes for our needles and hooks so the resulting fabric will be firm and dense. If you can see through it, it is too loose.

AWAIC can use:

  70 women - DONE
    2 teen boys - DONE
   5 preteen girls - DONE
   5 preteen boys - DONE
   5 youth girls - DONE
   5 youth boys - DONE
   5 toddler girls - DONE
   5 toddler boys - DONE
   5 girls booties - DONE
   5 boys booties - DONE
110 washcloths - DONE
