Description: Does Knitting Matter?

You might wonder why all the recent fuss about knitting. Volunteers on the Hands On Portland knitting groups will say they love getting together to socialize with new friends and marvel over the creativity of items made. But those who really benefit from our knitting are the recipients of the blankets and sweaters.

Join in this project and knit or crochet a blanket or sweater to be donated to the neonates at Emanuel Children's Hospital. Booties and hats are also welcome. A handmade item will make a loving impression on a new mom and baby.

Please know how to knit or crochet. We will have some supplies. Please bring your own if possible!

Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older.
