MARY SEARFOSS began knitting fanciful and colorful hats for children about 15 years ago.

|
She saw the children playing outside, in the cold, without hats.
Mary learned to knit from a neighbor in Marshall, MO, when she was 9 years old.
Over the years, she has taught many people to knit.
Mrs. Searfoss has
knitted hats for children attending Head Start, the Williams Center, the
Children's Therapy |
School, the Public Health Center, and several preschool and kindergarten
classrooms.
Now,
she is ready to deliver over 200 hats to Mexico area children and to Stitching
for America to help Joplin children.
Many
people in Audrain County and the Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe in
Columbia donate yarn to Mrs. Searfoss to use for the caps.
