Exciting news! Harris County Hospital District, which oversees Ben Taub Hospital, arranged for a TV Channel News team to videotape our group for their evening newscast! Please come to Starbucks as usual on Monday and for the next few Mondays to show off our stuff! Evening gowns are unnecessary, but come as you want your adoring public to see you. This is a chance for our whole team to demonstrate what we do for Houston’s leading hospitals.
My very favorite yarn shop is going to help us knit bears for our hospitals. What fine support they are giving us, and how very wonderful of Plymouth Yarn Company to donate wool for the event. I will be going and would love company. Check out Twisted Yarns at www.twistedyarnstexas.com.
And here is an excerpt from the Twisted Yarns newsletter:
Special Events: We are excited to announce that Thursday, June 18, we will have a sit-n-knit with the special theme of charity knitting. We’ll be knitting/crocheting bears for kids, and stocking caps for the troops. The finished bears will go to children in local hospitals ~ Memorial Hermann, Children’s Memorial Hermann, Ben Taub, MD Anderson and Texas Children’s. If you would like to participate, you may use some Encore which has been generously donated by Plymouth Yarn Company for the bears, or Cascade 220 Superwash for the stocking caps, also generously given by Cascade. You may use your own yarn as long as it is washable. There is more information about these projects on our blog. We will also have Warren Hanson, author of Kiki’s Hats, here to read from the book, and discuss the inspiration for his book. He’ll also be happy to sign books for you! Join us on Thursday, June 18th from 5 to 8:30. We’ll have refreshments and door prizes of course! See you then!
This an exciting time for Common Thread Circle. I am glad all of you are a part of it.
