Grandma Kate started making beanies in November, 2005. We received her 2,000th beanie in May, 2011

Grandma Kate makes over 300 beanies each year (almost one a day) and still manages to make Noah’s Ark Afghans and dolls and doll dresses for her 3 daughters and 7 granddaughters. Grandma Kate sent a note with the 47 beanies we received in May, 2011. She made #2,000 green and white “(Because I’m Irish)”.

Thank you Grandma Kate – We look forward to receiving more of your beanies!

"Nasty Knit Wits"

March 5, 2010

We received a box of beanies from “Nasty Knit Wits” in Peoria, Arizona. The picture showed 8 very happy “Nasty knitters” and accompanied with a letter to our troops. President Caren Gomez promises us they will make more beanies for us. I thank you ladies. Miki J.

Beanie Angels Nasty Knit Wits

Our fun knitting group is located in Peoria, Arizona. We get-together usually about once a month or so., bring our knitting projects and share ideas as well as teach new ones. We are made up of many ages from young to retirees. We bring snacks and of course some great tasty wine, (for adults only) oh, and of course some laughable jokes and stories to share.

Please accept our beanies to include in your next shipment, along with this photo of some of our group. Each one is different and made with our men and women in mind who are serving our country from near and far.

Our Blessings and Safe Keeping are sent with each new Beanie!
