Dozens and dozens of brightly colored knitted caps filled the table beside a Christmas tree in the lobby of the Annie B. Rose House on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 2.
On Tuesday’s at 3 p.m., the Annie B. Rose Crafters meet in the community room to work on an arts and crafts project. Throughout the fall, the women have been knitting hats for children receiving treatment for cancer at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. The collection of hats was on display for all the group to see before program director Barbara Norton packed them up for shipment to the Memphis hospital. Past group projects include knitting blankets for patients at the Woodbine Rehabilitation and Healthcare facility and knitted hats for the children at the Jefferson Houston Recreation Center.
