Valerie Scheib was on a cross-country train tour when she convinced several passengers to accompany her to a hobby store in Iowa.
There, they purchased looms and boarded again for more camaraderie and a serious hat-knitting session. Scheib patiently created 125 hats, giving her winter wear a signature look with multi-colored yarn, and eventually learned that her new friends went home to knit, too.
The America By Rail part-time tour guide - who jokes that she had to read a manual to begin her hat knitting - has donated these holiday presents so they can warm elementary school children, young cancer patients and the poor this winter.
"One little loom has started the experience of good generosity," said Scheib, a north Lansing resident who has a goal of knitting at least 100 hats next year for her grandchildren's elementary schools.
Ladies planning cross-country train tours throughout the year risk catching the contagious crafting bug.
Scheib's goal is to entrance "as many new ladies as I can get started."
She leaves later this month for a train trip to Vancouver. Casting a spell over the other ladies may happen with ease since Scheib claims she can knit a hat in 90 minutes flat.

Principal Julie Linn reports they sold out and the school's newsletter, Hoover Highlights, will recognize Scheib's donations with a picture.
"They were cute," Linn said. "The kids liked them."
Scheib also donated homemade fleece scarves that went out with nearly every Volunteers of America meal on Christmas day. A rotary cutter that Scheib describes as making a brisk "whoom" did most of the work.
"She's quite a lady," praised Kate Reed,This inflatable products decoy is very lightweight and when deflated can be fit easily into your pack. who organized the Christmas meal delivery program. "We're very grateful for her hard work and generosity.For some time, women have bid farewell to the days when women handbags were just used for 'functional reasons'."
From early age
Scheib said she sewed her first piece of clothing when she was 6 years old growing up in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
She didn't use a machine and her mother, whom Scheib works in honor of, had taught her to play with needles and yarn, not tinker toys.
Beading denim purses was her on-board preoccupation and, back in Lansing, she was donating time to Volunteers of America.I don't have no Hermes ed hardy shoes. She picked up the loom in January 2009 to use her crafting tendencies for a good cause.
