Charity Knitting – Aug 2024 Update

We have 15 Head Start hats on hand and 8 kits with pattern and pre-cut yarn are ready to go. Contact wheeler.julie@comcast.net for more info. The goal is to have 50 hats ready by October 1 for distribution to HISD schools. 

We also have several kits for Knitted Knockers ready to go. These are always in demand and we’d love to collect as many as we can for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October! You’re also welcome to make them from your own stash, but please keep in mind they need to be made from certain yarns. See their website for patterns and more information, and reach out to Julie if you’d like to pick up a kit!

If you are knitting Peyton Hearts, please follow the instructions on the KANG charity page for distribution. Do not send hearts to the charity co-chairs to distribute. 

Our charity yarn stash is running low, please consider donating or asking friends to search their stash for acrylic yarns of various weights

Speaking of stash, Ravelry has several patterns including the Snippet Scarf and Stashbuster Scarf that create fringe instead of ends to weave in. The Fidget Sleeve is also a good stash eater.  

We have many infant hats. Please consider making an infant blanket 24″x36″ or larger that will go to Project Linus or LBJ pediatric unit.
