We had a fun meeting this afternoon! Heather Libhart, volunteer manager at HavenHouse St. Louis, was our guest speaker. She described HavenHouse's mission, and noted that their guests are very appreciative of items knitted by our members. We donated 36 items to HavenHouse today, including hats, scarves/cowls, and a warm, cozy blanket. Many thanks to Abby, Ashley, Bonnie, Carolyn, Janneke, Joanne M, Marge, Marilyn, Maureen, May, and Pam for your hard work creating these warm and beautiful items!
For the next few months, we will be knitting baby items (hats, booties, baby afghan squares, sweaters, etc.) for Newborns in Need of Eastern Missouri. Please contact us if you need project ideas and/or help with your projects. A good first project for beginners is a 6 inch by 6 inch baby afghan square. Jean (Newborns in Need volunteer) turned in a beautiful afghan today that she assembled with squares knitted by our members. We are very grateful for this partnership!
