Helping Hands Knitting/Crocheting Project
Members of Redeemer’s Knitting Group have recently taken on a new volunteer activity to ‘Help Our Neighbors’ to knit hats and scarves for donation to KnitHope.org, a local Pittsburgh charity that collects and distributes hand knitted or crocheted scarves and hats to those in need in our community. In the past knitted items have gone to Second Avenue Commons, North Side Common Ministries, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Pittsburgh and Hope Hospice, Inc. We are inviting all knitters and crocheters to start making items which we will collect during the month of September. Most requested items are adult sized gender neutral hats or hat/scarf sets, especially in Pittsburgh black and yellow. (No wool or mohair please.) Contact Susan Wiebe at 316-393-5536 for more specific information about this project, or to get access to knitting supplies and patterns. As always, all are welcome to join Knitting Group on the first Saturday of each month at COR.
