Our Tuesday morning knitters continue to supply the Tri-City hospital nursery with baby caps and blankets. Every time Lynne Straub collects 200 hats, she calls the heard of the Auxiliary for a pickup. The nurses in the nursery can hardly wait to see the variety of lovely hats.
Over this summer, the gals made patriotic red, white and blue caps for the 4th of July and for new babies of our service men and women. They have already started red and green ones for the holiday season. Some of our knitters have made fancy hats for children who are being treated for cancer. Others knit or crochet red scarves for Women-Heart for distribution to women with heart disease.
All the knitters purchase their own supplies for the variety of philanthropic projects. Anyone can donate yarn, whether it is leftover or will not be used in the future. Please bring what you don't need to the Tuesday morning group at Lakeside Terrace between 9:30 and 10:30. If you have not done knitting or crocheting in a while and would like to enjoy the company of the Busy Needles group, just show up!
