Knit and Lunch

 

Our San Ramon knitting group, started in 2011, had a fun filled farewell luncheon honoring 2 of our original knitters, Ann Cygielman and Jan Barnes. They are moving to 2 different states. We are glad they’ll be able to still join us on Zoom. We knit for various charities.

While lunching and knitting we spotted a darling family and offered their adorable son a hat. This picture will explain how he felt about receiving it. The only member of the family (Donald the French bulldog) was missing when the photo was taken.

Just Before Easter

 We delivered another large donation of hats, sweaters, and a blanket to Kaiser Walnut Creek, and Dublin on 4/14/22 including:

150 baby hats (40 Easter themed)

10 premie hats

3 sweaters

15 chemo hats for 

Kaiser Walnut Creek

15 Chemo hats for Dublin Kaiser

 Many thanks to all who donated!!

St Patrick's Day Delivery and more

 

March 12, 2022 was an especially fun Kaiser hat delivery date as we were able to deliver the hats almost in person without going through a security guard.  One of the nurses stepped out into the hallway to retrieve them and told me how thrilled they are to receive all the donations and how much the patients enjoy our wonderful gifts.  She told me specifically to pass on thanks and appreciation to all who have donated.

We donated 162 general baby hats, 42
St. Patrick’s Day hats, 15 adult chemo hats plus another 23 adult chemo hats to John Muir Oncology.

Hugh Delivery to Kaiser

We delivered a HUGE number of baby hats and sweaters including 270 general hats, 70 Valentine’s hats, 9 premie hats, and 5 sweaters to Kaiser Walnut Creek on 2/6/22. The nurses were thrilled to receive them. In addition to the baby hats, we also delivered 19 chemo hats to John Muir Oncology department. One of the patients was so thrilled that she asked if she could have a second one!!

Thanks to all who contributed to this amazing donation 

Donated Chemo Hats

 

We donated 18 Chemo hats to the John Muir Oncology department on 1/19/22 after discovering through Buy Nothing, Danville that there was a great need. The recipients were grateful to us for the donation.

Assisted Living Donations

 We delivered 35 adult hats and 15 scarves on 12/10/21  made by the Karing knitters to an Assisted Living Facility supported by a local Women’s Club. The director was very appreciative as they like to keep their patients warm when they take them on outings during the winter months.

 Thanks to everyone who contributed to this project!!
