Charity Knitting – Feb 2026
We’ve had lots of donations come in this month! The SoCK chapter hosted the January charity knit-in, and we had 14 attendees.
We collected 24 items, including: a blanket, hats, Knitted Knockers, Warm Up America blocks, and toiletry bags.
Donations Made:
150 handmade items were delivered to The Landing, Methodist hospital, and Tiny Homes for Veterans – including knitted pouches, scarves, cowls, headbands, hats, a sweater, toiletry bags, and 6 baby blankets.
Below: hats and items donated at the January charity knit-in
Charity Patterns:
Just a quick reminder – if you are looking for something to make, we have a great list of free and easy-to-use patterns for charity knitting projects available on the KANG website!
We are happy to continue receiving donations of handmade items throughout the year. Thank you so much for your time and skill!

From Our President – February 2026
I grew up close to Minneapolis and still have close ties there. The horrible actions of ICE in this beautiful city have affected me deeply and when I saw this article, I felt like I had to say something. Knitters in Minneapolis are making the “Melt the ICE” hat with proceeds going to immigration aid organizations. I encourage you do purchase this pattern (it’s only $5) and make a hat in support of the citizens who are impacted by the actions of ICE.

Editor’s Note: Fiber arts have been a tool of political resistance since the 1760s – before both the American and French Revolutions. Here is a great article from PBS (from 2017) about the history of knitting activism.
We are proud to carry on this tradition and rally support for social change. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to hit reply directly on this newsletter email. – Sparrow
