Lake Stevens woman knits 175 scarves, donates to homeless

LAKE STEVENS — For the past 10 years, Vicki Wahl has knitted scarves for teachers, seniors in nursing homes and unsheltered people.

On Thursday, she delivered 175 of them to the Snohomish County Department of Human Services.

“I love to knit,” Wahl said. “I do that almost all day long and then I stay up late at night.”

Wahl, 78, said anyone is welcome to the scarves, but the vast majority go to people who are homeless. Typically, Wahl makes one big donation every year before Snohomish County conducts the Annual Point-in-Time Count. It’s a convenient deadline, said her son, Andrew Wahl.
