requesting my participation in their caps for good program which is just like their previous caps to the capitol program where they were requesting the donation of very small hand knit and crochet caps to be sent to developing nations where newborns die simply because they are too small to maintain their own body heat at any age our bodies vent heat off of the tops of our heads putting one of these caps on a newborn s head helps their little body retain that precious body heat so that they can stay alive i have been thrilled to knit up these little life saving caps to send off to save babies they are a breeze to whip up i can finish one hat while watching a movie bind off and start another before the movie ends and they are just incredibly adorable and i have to admit as a mother it pulls on my maternal instincts if there is something that i can do to help other mothers around the world keep their babies alive healthy and warm i want to do it so i am putting the word out once again here on my blog and in the knitters and crocheters care group on ravelry and also for my local dc knitting peeps i will be putting together a charity event in order to spread the word and get more baby caps made the caps along with any monetary donation you d like to make get sent to save the children you can download the free baby cap pattern to knit or crochet at the cyc warm up america website now that you are all done with christmas knitting you can get those needles all warmed up again and crank out a few tiny caps and save a few babies it s fun and it really feels good posted by evelyn at 5 49 am 2 comments tuesday august 24 2010 sit and knit crochet at the prayer shawl ministry at washington hospital center cancer center i have been knitting up a blue streak this summer as quiet as it s been kept my freelance writing practice has really taken off so i ve been doing a lot of writing for clients and not enough for my own blogs but one thing that helps to keep me sane and centered is knitting prayer shawls for the cancer center at the washington hospital center we gather on the fourth monday of each month and knit actually there are more crocheters than knitters in our group prayer shawls to give to the women and men who are cancer patients at the hospital i think it s been almost a year since i joined this group and it has been a wonderfully rewarding experience for me each month i knit a shawl to be donated to one of the cancer patients we don t really get a chance to meet these people so we are knitting anonymous gifts to bless people we don t know and most likely will never meet as we knit or crochet the shawls we hold the recipient in prayer and so the making of the shawl becomes not unlike a devotional in and of itself as i knit each stitch i might silently repeat a mantra or whisper a prayer or just focus on feeling good so that the resulting shawl will be imbued with positive healing uplifting energy at each meeting as the shawls are given they are blessed with a special prayer i really enjoy going to the meetings because i enjoy the fellowship with the other women and because it is a time in my life where i set aside all of my other obligations and focus on this simple offering we work with yarn that gets donated by lots of generous crafts women and for the most part we get acrylic and other man made fiber yarns to create our shawls with being the unabashed yarn snob that i am it has been challenging for me to work with these yarns well a few months back we got a generous donation of some really nice natural fiber yarns i found a big bag of rowan dk weight yarn in a soft olive green i grabbed it up and knit the woodland shawl http www ravelry com patterns library woodland shawl on size 9us needles and then instead of putting a fringe on it i added single leaves coming out of an i cord as found in nicky epstein s knitting on the edge ribs ruffles lace fringes flora points picots chris vinh the group s organizer snapped this photo at the meeting with the leftover yarn i knit up a damson shawl which when knit with fingering weight yarn works up to be a shoulderette shawl came out to be a full sized shawl because i used the dk weight and size 9us needles i think it looked spectacular but it did not get as big a reaction as the woodland shawl that shawl came out quite nice so if you are a dc metro area knitter and you are free on the fourth monday of the month from noon 2pm come join us at the prayer shawl ministry i get far more than i give from attending this ministry posted by evelyn at 1 19 pm 0 comments friday april 9 2010 i ll be speed stitching for charity on sunday they are holding a speed knitting for charity event at fibre space in alexandria which is turning out to be my new fave lys i plan to be there on sunday to participate so i m encouraging laying down the gauntlet for all of my local d c knitting peeps to come on over to fiber space and whip up a hat for charity and a bit of good clean fun the money for the entry fee will go to support michelle who is raising money to participate in the avon walk for breast cancer if you can t make it but still want to make a hat to donate to the washington hospital center cancer institute visit the fibre space website to get all of the details posted by evelyn at 2 04 pm 2 comments monday march 22 2010 the homespun yarn party in savage mill a new local fiber tradition yesterday i attended the homespun yarn party which took place at the historic savage mill in savage maryland it was about a 40 minute drive for me from d c but it was well worth the schlep this mini fiber festival took place in a civil war era textile mill which has been converted to a marketplace with a bunch of adorable little shops the yarn party was held in the great room which was packed to the gills with yarn fiber and happy shoppers it was about 72 degrees outside and the room seemed to be about 80 i stood in line for about 15 minutes before i was able to get into the space i ran into several of my knit blogging buddies including cici from http sistahsthatknit blogspot com and lots of other ravelery peeps as well i didn t really buy anything as i saving my cash for my annual pilgrimage to the maryland sheep wool festival that takes place on the first weekend in may my birthday is may 3 so i like to pretend it s all for my bday at the howard county fairgrounds my friend claire was there with knitters and crocheters care a non profit group that acts as a clearinghouse for collecting charity knitting and crochet items and distributing them to local charities and they also collect donated yarn and disperse it to knitters and crocheters in the area who create the items that get donated but if you live in the area and you love yarn knitting spinning or weaving there was lots of fun to be had by all i ran into an acquaintance that i ve not seen for years she and a friend will be hosting the fabulous shirley paden for a special class in june i will post more details on this as they become available i just love shirly paden s designs because i love cables i became a fan way back in the 90 s when she designed one of the squares for the great american afghan that interweave published a few squares at a time in their magazine so now i m adding the homespun yarn party to my list of local fibery traditions it s a wonderful warm up for the mds w and a great opportunity to meet up with folks that i usually only interact with online posted by evelyn at 1 33 pm 2 comments thursday march 4 2010 march is national
