I haven't been here in awhile but it doesn't mean I am not knitting, hope you all are too! I wanted to update everyone and remind you all that our next meeting is Thursday, August 19th, 7pm at the Fayson Lakes Clubhouse...hope to see everyone then!
UPDATES:
Three blankets knitted by Maureen, Kristina and me were sent over to a fantastic group of knitters at Novartis Pharmaceuticals who were donating them to a local camp for children with cancer.
So many beautiful baby hats went to Saint Martin de Porres homeless shelter and we received a beautiful card from the Director expressing her gratitude.
We have quite a number of beautiful scarves yet to be delivered and many, many blanket squares which are being sewn together as we speak!
Now we are working on caps for cancer patients for the Valerie Fund. The request is for soft knitted caps for ages 5 to 25. There are so many patterns of hats to choose from and I have listed a few I thought were good below. I also have a pattern from Bernat that uses Softee Chunky yarn. Easy, soft and fun...I found the yarn at Michael's...Click here for the pattern book and you can see the patterns and yarn too. I knitted one up in just a couple of nights...If you want more details on the pattern and amount of yarn needed, just send me an email or give me a call and I will share the info.
Peace, L
