What if you don't knit? or crochet? or loom knit or nothing creative to make a hat!!!?? Not a problem
You can buy a FEEL GOOD SWEATER: For every Lands' End FeelGood sweater purchased, the company will donate FeelGood yarn to One Heart Foundation's "Warming Families". We are a worldwide knitting and crocheting charity. Lands' End will donate thousands of pounds of their Feel good yarn to Warming Families chapters across America and then we, including YOU, will be knitting and crocheting 25,000 hats to warm the homeless and displaced.

Vickie Howell of DIY's Knitty Gritty has created a special how to knit a hat video just for this project.

Why Attend?
Twitter parties are a great way to connect with other people while chatting
about a specific topic. Lands End will be hosting a two-hour Twitter Party
