Assistance with knitting program in Rogers Park

8/13/2019

 
Can you help? 

I am the Health Education Coordinator at Heartland Health Centers- an FQHC with clinics along the north and northwest sides of Chicago. We have a knitting program that has been running for a few years at our clinic in Rogers Park (1300 W Devon Ave), but our instructor is unable to lead the class starting in the fall! The group normally runs on Tuesdays from 1:15-2:30, year round, and though we have some experienced knitters, most are new to knitting and want to learn how! I was wondering if your group had anyone who would be interested in helping with the program or if you know of any other programs/ people to reach out to?

Please contact us if you, or anyone you know, can help.  We will put you in touch with the requestor.  

Knitting Repair Help Needed

8/13/2019

 
We received a plea for help to repair a sweater that was ordered from London. 

"I ordered a sweater from Wrap London and the finishing at the bottom at the neckline is really not done well and I'm wondering if you could repair it? I hate to return it!" 

If you can help, please contact us and we will put you in touch.

August Meeting - Ice Cream Social

8/4/2019

 
August Meeting Ice Cream Social and Charity Yarn Giveaway
Tuesday, August 13, 2019 6:45 – 8:45 pm
Welles Park: 2333 W Sunnyside Ave 

In addition to having ice cream - come and pick up some yarn for charity knitting.  

A few months ago the guild received an email from Traci D, who inherited her mother’s stash a few years ago and was looking for somewhere to donate the yarn for use in charity projects. She and her husband will be bringing it to our August meeting. 

We hope you can make it to the meeting to pick up some yarn. You can bring your finished charity knitting projects to our October meeting.
