Final dropoff for the year, planning meeting, and mitten pattern

Our final finished item collection for the year will be Sunday, November 28 from 2-3 at Viele Lake/Harlow Platts Park in South Boulder. If you want to donate new children's books (or money for children's books), this will also be the final collection for them this year. If you want your finished items to be included in our big holiday donations, you'll need to make this dropoff time or make arrangements with Roylene for an alternate dropoff.

Our December meeting will be for planning purposes. All are welcome to attend, but we do not have a project for the meeting. It is Wednesday, December 8 from 5-6:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.

Missed November's meeting? You can find the mitten pattern HERE. Remember that we encourage using 100% wool for mittens because it stays warm when wet and makes for more useful mittens!

Thank you all for your generosity this year. I hope you find lots of happy knitting time over the holidays. Feel free to browse back through old posts here for ideas and patterns to make for gifts and donations. Happy Thanksgiving and stay cozy!

I'd also like to announce a fun challenge for the year: 24 in '24! A while back, we worked on a project to make blankets for the local police to distribute to comfort people (especially children) involved in difficult and traumatic situations. 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...
