When I was 9 years old, my biggest worry (seriously) was how I was going to tell people I was 11 with only 2 hands, even though I still wasn’t even 10.

Thankfully, kids of today are more sophisticated than myself. For example, the following video sent to me by a 9-year-old girl named Heather. After the video, I’ve posted her email about it, along with links to the projects she mentions.

Heather, you are awesome! Thanks so much for sending me your awesome video! I’m not sure who else you sent this great video to, but I hope the whole world gets to see it!

My name is Hannah and I am nine years old.

Could you please link my YouTube video on your blog?

I’m trying to get knitters to donate a hat to Hats for Hunger.*
All money goes to Heifer International to buy livestock for poor families.

I knit on a loom. I unravel sweaters for hats sometimes. And I dye the yarn with koolaid.

I made the video as a 4H project and it won a blue ribbon, a purple ribbon, a trip to the state fair and a Best of Show ribbon.

*Hats for Hunger was started by a 9 year old in 2008. He’s now 11, and I’m betting has better things to do than tell people his age by displaying his fingers.
