This weeks edition of the Memphis Flyer features a story on homelessness in Memphis. The news is not good- on any given day there are 1,800 homeless people in Memphis, and area shelters are reporting an increase in the number they serve.
It was the title of the story, “No Place to Call Home”, that caught my eye. But a split second later I noticed the yellow LOVE CAP on the man’s head. Our crocheters will easily recognize the basic Love Cap crochet pattern.
There is no information on this man in the story. We will never know his circumstances or exactly how he came to have this cap. But this photo shows that someone helped him get a coat, some coffee and a sandwich, and that he has a warm cap in this cold weather because of the work that you do.
If you have ever doubted that your caps make a difference, maybe this magazine cover will change your mind.
