Fall Focus

OUR FALL FOCUS FOR 2018 Granny Squares Always a good choice.  Make them 8 inches square and make in sets of either 9 or 12 in coordinating colors and tie together as a set.   Dishcloths/ Washcloths  Use dishcloth cotton (NEVER acrylic) to make kitchen cloths for Habitat for Humanity or washcloths for Newborns in Need.   Baby Blanket/ Afghans Car seat size or crib size.  Attach a matching hat if you can.  For afghans all sizes are needed. Soap Sacks SACK = Supporting a Community with Kindness We donate these toShower The People.   Please consider including a bar of soap with your sack!   Hats Hats are still our #1 requested item.  Gohere for a hat sizing guide.   Scarves Once again we will be working with Chase the Chill to provide scarves to warm our homeless community.

UPCOMING WORK DAYS NOT REALLY A WORK DAY — MORE OF A PLAY DAY!!! Thursday, August 23 Thursday, September 20 Thursday, November 15 All work days are from 12 noon – 5 pm and take place at the Inglewood Library, 4312 Gallatin Pike.  Please let me know if you are attending kandctn@gmail.com Dear Friends – What is going to be on your needles and hooks this fall?  It’s getting to be that time of the year when knitting and crocheting “production time” begins!  Between gifts, personal items (really – do any of us do much for ourselves?) and our community needs, fall and winter is my busiest fiber time! And if you are like me — and I am sure you are — you have at least 5 WIP’s (works in progress) at any given time. I hope that the information in this newsletter helps you to focus on what you can do that will help the groups we support the most.
