Other talents

Some of the Karing Knitters  also like to sew.

Sisters Barbara and Peggy decided to make fabric chemo bags and hats for Kaiser Cancer Patients.  

 

Two deliveries have been made, one on April 20th (9 bags and 3 hats) and one on May 4, 2012 (21 bags).

The nurses were thrilled with both donations and said that the patients will find them both practical and attractive and thanked us profusely.

Go sisters!

Our next delivery

Barbara and Peggy delivered 40 baby hats and 20 adult Chemo Hats on 4/9/12 to Kaiser Walnut Creek.

 While waiting for the elevator to deliver the infant hats, one of the Chemo Nurses noticed our hats and asked who they were for.  She was thrilled to find out that they were for adult chemo patients and offered to take them to the Unit for us.  She told us that those hats will  put a BIG SMILE on the patients and thanked us for our thoughtfulness and generosity.

Kudos to all of us Karing Knitters!

Meeting Place

Wonder where we do our charity knitting? Here at Sunrise Bagels. We appreciate the owners who allow us to meet 2 times a month,  at their warm and inviting store.....

World Travelers

World travelers that we are (giggle), we can never pass up an interesting yarn shop:

from Dunedin, New Zealand

from Queenstown, New Zealand

from the open air market in Puerto Montt, Chile

from Punta Arenas, Chile

from Montevideo, Uruguay

from Port Stanley, Faukland Islands

from Santos, Brazil

from Ushuaia, Argentina

Traveling is so much fun - and yarn shopping is even more fun.

for St Patrick's Day

The Karing Knitters delivered 23 hats (10 of which were green and white) to the Maternity Ward on March 16th, just in time for St. Patrick's Day.  One of the nurses said, "Now I can't pinch the St. Patty's babies since they'll be wearing green for St. Patrick's Day"...LOL.  The nurses were busy with their duties but very thankful for the delivery.

Another happy delivery

On Feb. 14th (Valentine's Day) we were able to deliver over 100 hats to Kaiser Hospital in Walnut Creek. 

Some went to chemo... including two we were able to give directly to patients. Here is Knitter Peggy, posing with one of the happy recipients. 

Some went to the maternity for Valentine babies.

And one proud dad spotted us and picked out a cap for his newborn son.

Thanks

Our turn to say thanks....
 Many thanks to our anonymous donor. Your generous contribution of yarn will keep us all busy for a long time.
