Morning Glories Homemakers in Crittenden County intend to help the children of the county stay warm this winter. The group has been crocheting matching hats and scarves for some time now, and will be donating them to children at the elementary school. The first sets were distributed this week.

Merle Myers estimates the homemakers have already crocheted 80 to 90 sets, adding that it takes about three hours to complete a hat and scarf.

The crocheting is an ongoing project for the Morning Glories.

Myers added that any donation of yarn would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be dropped off at the UK Cooperative Extension Service office in Marion.
