Trip to San Leandro Kaiser

Ann, Rita and Barbara delivered 65 knitted baby hats and 15 adult hats for chemo patients to the new San Leandro Kaiser today. The receptionists in both departments were very warm and welcoming. They were thrilled to receive our donations and said the patients would be too! We were happy to make contributions to this brand new Kaiser medical office and hospital.

St. Isidore's donation

The Karing Knitters donated 31 baby hats on August 18, 2015 to a group of St. Isidore knitters who make lovely 26 piece layettes for young mothers receiving services from Birth Right Concord and Livermore.  They were thrilled to receive them and will knit booties, blankets, and sweaters to match.

Stars and Stripes for Baby

Peggy delivered 100 hats - (18-4th of July themed hats and 82 general hats) to Kaiser on June 30th, just in time for the upcoming holiday.  We know that the babies will love wearing our creations.

Easter Hat Delivery

Peggy delivered 55 baby hats, some Easter themed,  to Kaiser Walnut Creek on Saturday,  4/4/15.  We usually deliver the hats weekdays so there was a different staff of nurses this time and they were so happy to meet at least one member of the Karing Knitters group.  They reiterated how grateful they and the new moms are to receive our generous donations.  What made this delivery even more special was that there were 10 couples touring the Maternity floor and the women were VERY Pregnant...a fun site to see.  

Thank you Karing  Knitters for your charitable time and donations!

You Can Knit Anywhere!

Tina likes to make loom hats while walking on the treadmill at her gym. She says it makes the time go faster and keeps her focused. This proves that you can be creative when knitting while even getting some exercise. The knitting grandmother's in the rocking chairs are a sign of the past!

St Patrick's Day Hat Delivery

In Peggy's own words:

I had a lot of fun delivering the hats to Kaiser today, 3/13/15.  The nurses were totally thrilled with the donation. They said to be sure to thank all of the crocheters (I didn't correct the nurse who made the statement about the crocheters, that the hats were knitted) for making the hats for the babies. They were truly appreciative. A few of the nurses who were standing at the front desk immediately started looking through the bag of donations and we're so happy to see all the cute hats.

Valentine Visit To Kaiser Hospital

On 2/12/15, Anne, Barbara, and Peggy delivered 94 baby hats to Kaiser Maternity.  As usual, the nurses were delighted with our donations and immediately looked through the bags to find the perfect hat for the baby(s) they had helped deliver.  We pointed out to them that we had many Valentine themed hats plus some general ones and several in duplicate or triplicate for the twins and triplets...they loved that!  We went to the Chemo Department afterwards and Barbara gave the 9 hats she made to the Staff who was very appreciative.  We noticed that there was a bulletin board signed by cancer survivors so attached is a sample of the messages that the patients left.
