MKG 2020 Service Projects

Posted in News by Kathy Lewinski on Jan 7th, 2020

It's a new year and that means new service knitting projects.

This year we are knitting for three organizations which have been suggested by members and chosen by the Service Committee. All donated items are due by the November 2020 Guild meeting. Our January guild meeting will give everyone a chance to hear more from each of these organizations. Watch your email and Ravelry for details.

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MINNESOTA – 100-year-old organization that serves refugees, unaccompanied children, and survivors of human trafficking in Minnesota

Knitted item needed: Warm hats for infants, children, teen family members receiving services and resources in the transition to a new life leading to economic self-sufficiency. Any fiber is welcome, but machine washable preferred 

ASERACARE HOSPICE – serves hospice patients in their homes

Knitted item needed: Fingerless mitts for adults to keep hands warm, any soft, warm fiber

BRIGHTER DAYS GRIEF CENTER – offers counseling and grief support groups for adults that have experienced the loss of a family member

Knitted items needed: Shawls, scarves, wraps or softies for adult, teens and children who have experienced the loss of a family member. Any fiber is welcome.

We have links to pattern ideas for all of these projects on our service knitting page.

We also have a service knitting event, Crafting Warmly, coming up at the Minneapolis Central Library on Sunday, January 26th. We need teachers to help teach knitting and as well as donations of warm weather accessories. More details are available here. 

If protecting animals, and knitting with unique yarn, is something that interests you, there is also a service knitting event on February 1st at the Textile Center in support of the International Wolf Center in Ely, MN. You must sign up for this in advance. Get all the details here.
