Thursday Afternoon Knitting is Back!!
Starting this Thursday - March 22 - Afternoon knitting is back at The Yarn Studio. Grab a drink and a treat from Sweet Norma Jean's (which now adjoins our building...score!!) and get your needles clicking for charity.
I have determined to make more time for charity knitting this year. There are so many worthy causes seeking out knit and crochet items.
Plan to join us @ 1:00. I will have a list of needed items along with patterns.
Here is a list of potential items for both knit and crochet:
CHEMO CAPS
I love this gal's crochet patterns (so check her out) and thought this free hat pattern in a soft yarn would great as a chemo cap...

This pattern would work up well in fingering weight Cobasi by Skacel or Cozzette by Knit One Crochet Too

These two knitted caps would be perfect for patients going through cancer treatments:

KNIT KNOCKERS
All info pertaining to making a knit knocker for breast cancer patients is found on their official website. Note that knit knockers can only be donated if the approve yarns are used.
