Hope you're all having a Happy New Year so far! Since it's also a new month, Vermont Girl Knitting has a new Charity of the Month. For January, half of every purchase will be donated to Doctors Without Borders (aka Medecins Sans Frontieres). If you haven't heard of them, they provide medical care to those most in need around the world, regardless of race, political affiliation, or religion. Offering help to those who need it just seems like a good way to kick of 2014, don't you think?

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) works in nearly 70 countries providing medical aid to those most in need regardless of their race, religion, or political affiliation.

Whether you're looking for that perfect gift, or you just need something to keep yourself warm on your holiday travels, the Crosset Brook Gloves are just the thing. Named for both a brook and a school near my hometown, they are made to keep you cozy both on a winter walk and in a chilly classroom (or office, or car). At the same time, they leave your fingers free to use a phone, grab your keys, or do your homework.

Crosset Brook Gloves are designed to keep your hands warm, while still allowing you to do what you need to do. Whether youre grabbing your

I don't think it's exaggerating to say that a warm cider doughnut is one of the best things in the world. Comforting, a little sweet, and a little spicy... the perfect thing for a chilly fall or winter day. And that's why this hat is called Cider Donuts - sweet, fun, cozy, and the bold red of a crisp apple.

Remember, for the rest of this week, you can get free shipping using the code FINALSDEC13 at checkout! And, through the end of December, your purchase will help older New Yorkers get healthy meals through Citymeals-on-Wheels.

The Cider Donuts hat is warm, comforting, and a little bit spicy. The beehive style is flattering on anyone, and the vibrant color adds

As odd as it may sound for someone not familiar with Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the Runaway Pond Hat is named for an actual Runaway Pond (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_Pond). Unlike the pond, the hat will stay where you put it, but it will keep you warm and comfortable if you need to chase after an escaping body of water this winter. Or, you know, run other errands.

The subtle copper, gold, and black stripes in the hat make it perfect for men or women, and the 100% wool makes it cozy without being bulky. Plus, through December 20th, you can get FREE SHIPPING with the code FINALSDEC13!

The colors in the Runaway Pond Hat are inspired by fall, but the soft wool will keep you warm all winter long. This textured and striped

One item to check out is the Schoolhouse Gloves. Thick, warm fingerless gloves in a bold red, these gloves keep your hands toasty warm while leaving your fingers free to grab keys, swipe a Metrocard, or use your smartphone. (They're also perfect for cold offices and classrooms!)

On a snowy day, there are few things better than being able to curl up by the fireplace. While you're out and about, the Fireside Cowl will help you bring some of that warmth along with you. It's fuzzy, warm, and so soft I can't do it justice in words. And it's versatile - it can be scrunched down and tucked into a coat, or stretched to keep your whole face (even your ears!) warm.

And remember: for December, Vermont Girl Knitting is donating 1/2 of all proceeds to Citymeals-on-Wheels (citymeals.org)

The Fireside Cowl will keep you warm all winter long, tucked into a coat or pulled up to protect your face from the wind. This hand-knit,

The Blackberry Jam Hat is made of a thick wool-alpaca blend. The color is the same deep purple as the stains left on your hands after picking blackberries in July. The coziness is perfect for winter, though - like toast spread with melting butter and homemade jam. Covered with cables and nicely slouchy, this hat will keep you warm all the way home.

Blackberry Jam is a slightly slouchy, cabled hat in deep purple. Hand-knit from a bulky wool-alpaca blend, its designed to keep you warm all
