I have decided to start a charity knitting project and I would like to invite local knitters to join me! A woman who taught at my sons’ elementary school has family in Paradise (both her parents, I believe, and siblings with small children) and she organized a collection through our school community to collect stuff for her to drive up to Chico and distribute to people she knows who have been displaced by the fire. Somewhere in the midst of all of that I saw that someone had knit hats for people in Paradise and I thought I should make some for the next time she drives up from our area.
If you would also like to knit some hats and get them to me then I will get them to her to transport up there. It has gotten cold and rainy, which is helpful in clearing the air and controlling the fire but not helpful in that a lot of people are living in tents in the Walmart parking lot currently.
Here are some hat resources if you would like to participate:
- All the free hat patterns listed on Ravelry
- Some I have knit and enjoyed (all links are to Ravelry pattern pages)
- For pay patterns that I like
Local knitters, let me know if you can make some! Scarves and cowls might also be welcome!
