For the November 17th meeting: We will be making our annual donation of preemie items to the NICU at Sparrow Hospital in memory of Kristi Garcia's son Eli. Patterns and more details can be found at http://www.mmkg.org/charity.
For the December 15th meeting: The umpteenth annual MMKG Hat Contest! Sarah put together some mystery bags of hat quantities of yarn which will be available at Guild meetings prior to the December meeting.
For the January 19th meeting: We will be collecting chemo caps to be taken to Knit Michigan 2010 (http://www.knitmichigan.com/). There are links to sites with free patterns for chemo caps at the Guild's website (http://www.mmkg.org/charity).
Knitting for Others is a friendly gathering of charity-minded knitters which takes place from noon to 4:00 p.m. on the fourth Sunday of each month in the cafe at Schuler's Books in the Eastwood Towne Center. The dates for the next few months are November 22 and December 27.
Two items have been added to the Mid-Michigan Knitters Guild forum in Ravelry: "Charity Knitting" and "Knitting for Others". Feel free to chime in with ideas for projects or worthy charitable organizations.
