She is a dedicated and talented knitter and designer, the kind of knitter that is never without her knitting bag. She founded Winter Project several years ago, making caps, neck warmers, and blankets herself and engaging volunteers to join her efforts to reach as many children as possible, and raising funds to carry out the project.

Let's Knit Caps offers some step-by-step outlines for making a variety of caps and many ideas for combining textures, stitch patterns, and color blends.
