Charity Knitting – Aug 2026

Posted on by KANGWebmaster

Thank you all for your continued generosity and support of our charity knitting and crochet projects. Your time, talent, and caring hearts are making a real difference in the lives of children, families, and patients throughout our community.

Here is a summary of some of the donations that have been delivered recently:

  • 7 shawls and wraps donated to Woman’s Hospital of Texas
  • 6 blankets donated to Project Linus
  • 17 baby blankets, 6 baby sets, and 12 baby hats donated to Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital

Our guild has also knitted approximately 70 hats for Head Start! We usually deliver these in November when the school district asks for them. Thank you to everyone who has contributed hats to this wonderful project.

The updated, simplified Head Start Hat pattern is available on our website, along with a pattern for soap sacks. Please send any feedback about these patterns to knitatnightguildcharity@gmail.com!

Thank you to everyone who has been knitting for our Head Start Hat project! Your generosity continues to amaze us. We keep receiving hat donations, and we’ve now collected approximately 45 hats—a wonderful start!

We’re getting close to reaching our goal, but there’s still time to add a few more hats if you have one on your needles. Every hat helps ensure that a child receives a warm, handmade gift.

On a personal note, I’m currently dealing with some eye treatments that have temporarily limited my driving. If I’m not able to be at every meeting or arrange pickups quite as quickly as usual, thank you for your patience and understanding. I expect this to improve, and I appreciate everyone’s continued support.

Thank you again for your time, talent, and kindness. Every stitch truly makes a difference!

Our guild has recently received a newly modified Head Start hat pattern that may be easier and quicker for members to use. We hope to review the updated version soon and possibly add it to the guild website for members interested in charity knitting.

We are also beginning a review of our charity knitting resources and website links. Over the years, many wonderful patterns and charity projects have been added, and we would love member feedback on which patterns and outreach projects are currently being used and supported.

If you have favorite charity hat patterns, current outreach organizations, or suggestions for updating the website resources, please let us know!

We had a wonderful time at the recent KANG retreat in La Grange, and it was such a joy to connect, create, and support our shared mission.

I’m happy to report that we received two beautiful blankets and six Head Start hats during the retreat. This brings our current Head Start hat count to nine.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and talent—your work truly makes a difference.

Every item we receive helps us continue supporting those in need, and we appreciate each and every donation.

As always, we welcome continued contributions of hats, blankets, and other handmade items. Thank you for your generosity and dedication!

Charity Challenge: Mar-Apr

Posted on by KANGWebmaster

We’re launching a Head Start Hat Challenge for March and April — and our goal is 60 Hats in 60 Days!
Let’s see how much we can create together during this two-month challenge to bless local Head Start children.

One suggested pattern that many of you have enjoyed is the Scrap Happy Celebration Hat. If you choose to use a different hat pattern, please make sure it is preschool size, fitting an average three- to five-year-old child.

Please bring your completed hats to meetings through the end of April. Let’s fill — and overflow — the basket!

For any questions, please reach out to our Charity Chairperson, Linda Currie, at knitatnightguildcharity@gmail.com
