Knitting in church March 8th 9th

We have selected March 9th as our day to knit in between worship services on Sunday morning and before and after worship on Saturday evening. We hope to let our congregation know our mission and what we have accomplish so far. We hope those that might be interested will ask questions and consider joining us. We aren't a very scary group :) and we welcome a fresh face at our fun gatherings.

We are making bags now

Our knitting has an add dimension. We are creating beautiful bags to fill with feminine goodies to share. Dianne's visit to the Women's Resource center resulted in a list of basic needs we think some of our bags could fill. Besides we have discovered that making bags is a bit like an upside down hat. Cool.

Thank You Thrivent

Just got the news from Faith's Anne Lindaman - The Stitch and a Prayer knitting group is now the recipient of $600 a year supporting funds. We can use the gift to buy yarn that won't irritate little preemie heads, sparkly yarn for special bags for women at the Family Violence center, soft baby yarn for the other little ones.....this is really a blessing.

Where does my help come from? It comes from the Lord. He must approve of our little gifts of hats laced with our prayers.

Preemie Project garter ridge hat

Added the coffee cup in the photo so you can see the size. 36 stitches with worsted weight yarn. So cute.

Look for new yarns in the stash

I dug through the stash of eBay bargains at home and discovered many yarns that might be perfect for our charity group. Many are wool and variegated. I hope you enjoy stitching our prayers into them. With wool, you may not want to create a tiny tiny baby hat. It might be a touch itchy. It they would be perfect for the Baby Suprise Jacket however. I will bring the pattern with me on Feb 11th.

Hats to Family Violence Center

Wow another set of hats are heading to the Family Violence Center. On her very first visit to our group Brenna Corona offered to share our handywork with the Family Violence Center. Glad to have you with us Brenna.
