Purple Hats for the BC Children's Hospital

Fancy some quick-to-knit summer knitting? The BC Children's Hospital is collecting purple hats for their Purple Hat campaign.

There are lots of great patterns available online and in your local knitting stores.

There are a few things to remember:

• Please don't use anything that dangles or pompoms
• At least 50% of the hat needs to be purple - stripes are nice too!
• Use something soft as these hats are for new babies
• The size needs to fit a 6-12 month old baby

 

***Hats need to be mailed no later than Monday, September 15th, 2014. *** 

 

 

Thanks again for every stitch & chain you have made. 

 

Need yarn?  Let us know and we can bring it to our next get-together.

Baby Hats for World Vision

We are still gathering baby hats for World Vision Knit for Kids and will be mailing out a package in early September.

If you would like more information about the Knit for Kids charity, here is the link for the World Vision Knit for Kids website.

They are looking for unisex sweaters, caps and baby blankets.

They are asking the knitters to use the patterns found on the website so that all the recipients receive something alike. There are a few different patterns that you can download here.

Thanks again for every stitch & chain you have made.

Upcoming Get Togethers - Summer 2014

Here is the tentative schedule for our up coming get-togethers. This schedule will go until fall. Hopefully you can come!
 

• May 15
• June 12
• July 17 
• August 14

We will meet in the Fireside Room at the Balfour Covenant Church from 9:00 - 12:00 Noon.

Don't you think it would be fun to knit/crochet outside at someone's house?  If anyone is interested in holding it at their place - please let me know as well as what date of course. 

We will start meeting every second Thursday again in the fall season so we can get more stuff done as delivery times approach. See you soon :)

 

Thanks again for every stitch & chain you have made.  One of the things we could work on over the summer is mittens - all sizes and or fingerless gloves. 

Need yarn?  We can bring yarn to each meeting if you need something for your next project!

Enjoy the Summer!
