Ways to help after the fire

Hi all, 

I put this in a comment on my earlier post, but I figured I should make a new post with the information.

Giselle is our representative with Sister Carmen Community Center, and they are helping people impacted by the fires. They can use a number of donated items: 

  • hats
  • mittens
  • scarves
  • blankets
  • sleeping bags
  • gift cards, especially to restaurants or Walmart

Sister Carmen also welcomes monetary donations, which will pay for hotel rooms for people who need a place to stay.

You can find out more at their website.HERE

Please no food or bottled water at this time, but check their website for updates, as what is needed will change over time.

You can drop off donations directly to Sister Carmen Community Center or contact Giselle at livelively@comcast.net and make arrangements to drop them off at her house in Lafayette. 

Please feel free to comment below with other ways to help. If YOU need help or someone to talk with, please don't hesitate to reach out to this group, or me personally (contact info in previous post). We are your community, and we are here for you.

Reminder: meeting Wednesday at 4:00

Just a reminder that we will be meeting this Wednesday, August 18, 4:00 at Harlow Platts park by Viele Lake. The pattern is a modified version of the Swirl Hat, a favorite from Hat Bingo . I think it uses about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, preferable something machine washable, and a US 7 or 8 16 inch circular needle. Hope to see you there!

Reminder: Meeting at Harlow Platts Park Wednesday 4-6

Just a reminder: we will be meeting IN PERSON at Harlow Platts Park (by Viele Lake in South Boulder) from 4-6 on Wednesday. We'll have a spot to drop off finished projects and pick up the new pattern (you'll need to provide your own yarn). Remember we'll also be collecting sweaters for the refugee project. If you'd like to stay and knit, please bring a chair or blanket. We'll sit in small groups rather than in one large one. Hope to see you there!

April cables (or not)

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, April 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. Our project is a child's hat that you can make with or without cables. You'll need about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, US size 7 or 8 (4.5-5mm) 16 inch circular and double point needles, a cable needle if you are working the cable version, and 8 stitch markers, one unique for the beginning of the round. You can find the pattern HERE . Hope you can make it!
