Sunday November 18th Meeting!


We had a wonderful meeting this afternoon! Four new members attended, some of whom learned how to knit for the first time today.  Our 2018 donation to Foster Care to Success’s Red Scarf Project will be 34 scarves! Many thanks to Abby, Carolyn, Eden, Janneke, Joanne M, LaDonna, Lynette, Madeline, Maureen, May, Pam, Sarah, and Susan for creating these beautiful, warm scarves! Knitting a 5-foot-long scarf is a commitment, and we appreciate the time (426 hours total!) and care that went into making these gifts. These scarves will be a special surprise in a Valentine’s Day care package for the college student recipients. Several members also turned in completed items for Newborns in Need of Eastern Missouri and HavenHouse St. Louis at today’s meeting.  Keep on knitting everyone—we are knitting warm winter items for HavenHouse guests now!
