Charity Knitting Monday Jan 22

Charity Knitting Night – an evening where you can sit and relax, chat with friends and knit a little something for someone in need. So how about choosing a pattern you’ve always wanted to try, search your stash for the appropriate yarn, grab the right needles and head to the Guild meeting to join your friends. 

Need a suggestion as to what is needed?

• Hawkwing is always collecting warm winter clothing, especially for the children; they also have a new program which provides warm hats and socks for newborns, in addition to sweaters for all babies.
  
• The Kids Kloset in White Plains always needs sweaters for toddlers, and hats, scarves and mittens for all children.
• Metro World Child distributes clothing for the entire family – any fiber but wool/acrylic blends are much warmer. Preemie hats and blankets are also constantly required; these must be acrylic and soft.
  
• Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care Center is most appreciative when we send them 32” square blankets; again acrylic yarn is required. It is soft and colorful and makes them especially comforting. We also collect 5” X 7” squares to make blankets.

We have some yarn – mostly worsted weight. So, if you bring the appropriate needle size and a pattern, you can use this charity yarn.

We hope to see you then!
