Esto no es solo un grupo de pasatiempos, es una misión. Nuestro objetivo es pasar el año creando gorros, bufandas y cobijas hechas a mano. En el próximo invierno, organizaremos un evento de alcance comunitario para distribuir estos artículos a personas en situación de calle, brindando el calor tan necesario durante el invierno en Colorado.
