Charity Knit-In

Kenneth Eakins, Outreach Case Manager for the Star of Hope, will speak to us about what the hats and scarves we donated last year meant to the recipients.  We will be packaging the Star of Hope donation at the Knit-In so we can turn everything over to Mr. Eakins that day.  Hats and scarves have been coming in, but we need lots more for the men in neutral colors.  Check the Charity page on the website for pattern information. The Two Hour Scarf knits up very quickly, and the Hat with Heart pattern is a great hat for fitting different size heads.  Both are great projects to carry with you when you will just have a few minutes at a time to knit during the day.  You don’t need to carry the pattern with you – just your knitting.  We also need more new black Men’s cushioned crew socks to pack with their hats if your chapter would like to donate some.  Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about charity items.  Charity items can be sent to the Charity Knit-In by members of your chapter attending the event.  As we have done previously, this Knit-In will be a potluck event.  We always have a variety of delicious dishes!  Please RSVP to [email protected] by October 15.
