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!

From Our President – August 2026

By the time you receive this newsletter, I will no longer be president of KANG. It’s been a pleasure, but I’m happy to give up the job to Tamara Willer from the SoCK chapter.

The handover meeting for old and new officers will be held on August 1. Details will be emailed to all incoming and outgoing officers.

Now that we are moved into a retirement apartment and unpacked, I have some time for knitting again! I organized my stash a couple days ago and found, mixed in with it, several items that we thought were lost in the move – including my husband’s medications, passport, and toothbrush charger! (Don’t ask why those items were packed together – I haven’t figured it out yet!)

Charity Knitting – Jun 2026

Posted on by KANGWebmaster

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!

This is my final month as President of KANG. It’s been a pleasure working with all of you, but I am now happy to hand the reins to Tamara Willer who will undoubtedly do a wonderful job!

This is a short message because we just finished moving from our house into a retirement apartment about half the size! We have a jillion boxes to unpack and somewhere in the mess are all my knitting projects. We’re still in Houston though and I’ll continue to be active in the Guild.

Charity Knitting – Jun 2026

Posted on by KANGWebmaster

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!

From Our President – June 2026

Posted on by KANGWebmaster

This month it’s time to elect new officers for the coming year. Our nominating committee has done a great job in finding volunteers for our open positions. In previous years we have voted on the entire slate of candidates at chapter meetings. This year we have more than one person running for some of the offices so Lauren, our webmaster, has made a ballot which can be filled out online. It will be emailed to all members in the next week.  

We are requesting your name and chapter on the ballot just so we can ensure that only KANG members can vote. Your votes will be private. There is also space to write in other members if you know someone who is interested in one of the positions.

Voting will be open from the day you get the form until the end of June. Discussions of candidates can be held at the June chapter meetings. If you have a phone or tablet with you, you may choose to fill out the ballot at your chapter meeting.

If you have questions about this, please contact me at knitatnightguild@gmail.com
