Lots of hats!

Thanks to all who came to the February meeting and brought completed projects. We collected 22 hats  (shown below). Our knitters' needles have been busy! If you're still working on yours, that's fine - just bring it to a meeting whenever it's finished. 


This next picture shows 15 adult hats that we just donated to Clinica (thanks Twyla and Linda for taking them over). Winter in Colorado is long and cold, so the practitioners at Clinica are very happy to have something warm to give to the patients they see. And getting something made by hand is special. I hope all the folks who warm their heads with these hats feel they are loved and cared for by their community. Let's keep up the good work!

A great group of people kept this going, and the Lafayette police are still receiving blankets to distribute. They said they can always use more blankets, so let's make that happen. The challenge is this: knit 24 squares in 2024. Each month, I'll share two stitch patterns, ranging from very simple and to more challenging. The patterns are just to keep you interested. You can knit them all, knit just th...
