Our 2012 Theme is Hats
This may be anything which incorporates hats in a knitting project - as a whole, or as a part of the project.
Each guild member is invited to make a project related to this theme during the year. We will unveil our projects at the January 2013 meeting.
Projects must be:
- knitted
- made during 2012
- related to the theme
Come to our meetings to find out more!
Members have access to special member retreats twice per year.
There are officially 1600 children in grades K through 12 in the Beaverton School District who are homeless. It is suspected that number is closer to 2600 with over 200 of these students having no family or relatives. These kids sleep where they can: cars, going from one friend's house to another sleeping on a couch or floor, homeless shelters or in the streets.
We can help these children by knitting scarves, hats, mittens, fingerless mittens, and small blankets or lapghans. They can be brought to the monthly meetings and given to Gail Walsh, or, taken during business hours to For Yarn's Sake, 11679 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy, Beaverton. 503-469-9500. Open Mon - Sat 11 am to 6 pm, Sun noon to 5 pm. Or, join in the Knit Chat from 6 to 8 pm on Wednesdays and bring your items then.
