October is National Bully Prevention month. #hatnothate (https://hatnothate.org) is an amazing organization that rallies fiber artists around the country to knit and crochet blue hats to be worn by kids during the month of October. What an amazing sight of blue to combat bullies! Donations are collected through September and we will be sending ours off this week!
