Handmade ladies

Join us for a special September 11th Day of Service and Remembrance Handmade for the Homeless session. Volunteer your time on 9/11 as a meaningful tribute to the 9/11 victims, survivors, and those who rose up in service in response to the attacks.

Join fellow knitters and crocheters to make handmade goodies for a great cause! Our goal is to contribute as many warm winter items as possible to distribute to individuals experiencing homelessness in the DC area.

All levels of knitters and crocheters are welcome.  Don't know how to knit or crochet? We'll teach you!

What should I bring?

Please bring your own needles/crochet hooks and we will supply the yarn.  
 
If you are not already working on a warm winter item and are looking for a great project or just starting out, please bring:
 

  • #8 or #10 knitting needles (circular or straight) or a size H crochet hook
  • Patterns (we'll share if you don't have one)

Additional hat patterns using #17 needles or a size N crochet hook are also available.

If you have questions about this event contact Sheryl at sherlinov@gmail.com.

If you can't join us in person, join us in spirit by knitting or crocheting:

  • Hats
  • Scarves
  • Gloves and Mittens
  • Socks or slippers
  • Other items to keep people warm during the cold winter months


Knitted and other donations can be dropped off at the EDCJCC. Contact Sonya at sonyaw@edcjcc.org to make arrangements. Thank you!
