Laura Danielson
is heading up our Community Service committee and is planning to focus in some specific areas this year. You can find patterns to knit in support of these groups at the bottom of this page. If you find additional links to free pattern sites, send them to the website editor for inclusion here. International Outreach - We plan continued support for Suse Jahns efforts to improve the life conditions of women in Honduras by teaching them to knit. Throughout the year we will be sponsoring yarn and needle drives to coincide with her trips. These materials help sustain the cottage industry these women are working in to create articles of clothing that they can sell in their shop. Outreach to Women - We support our local Women’s center and women veterans hospitalized at the Houston VA Medical center. Items provided are: 36”x48” Lap Blankets and knitted slippers Outreach to Infants and Children – We support infants and children by knitting preemie hats , bereavement blankets for Ben Taub General Hospital, the local charity hospital. The bereavement blankets are 20”x20” white blankets used for burial when a family has no clothes for their deceased infant. Care Wear Volunteers patterns for infants |
