A Heart Full of Love: Johnny's Socks

Recovering from the loss of her son, Rosemary Chapman began the knitting charity, A Heart for Love: Johnny's Socks charity to raise awareness of heart disease.  With the help from Skacel, who generousy donated kits to Chapman, your purchase of a $25 sock kit will help support a wonderful organization. All proceeds from the kits are sent to the Genesis Heart Instutitute for cholesterol and stress testing treatment.  Inside each Johnny's Sock kit includes the following: a kit bag, 459 yards of Schoppel-Wolle yarn in Johnny's Red, a written and charted sock pattern and a heart stitch marker.

Note from the designer and founder: This pattern is dedicated to my son, Johnny, who unexpectedly died from a heart attack at age 41, leaving a beautiful wife and two beautiful children. Please protect yourself and your loved ones from this deadly disease! Rosemary “Chappy” Chapman
