Celebrating and Making a Difference

October 5th, 2009

This November, the Lion Brand Yarn Studio celebrates its first birthday. It’s been a fantastic year, so we want to celebrate by giving back to the New York City community. From October 1 to November 22, we’ll be knitting and crocheting scarves in the front window of the Studio. Each scarf will be donated to the Partnership for the Homeless, a 501(c)(3) organization, to keep New York’s homeless individuals and their families warm this winter.

You’re invited to help New York families, too! Simply drop off your handmade scarf or hat at the Studio by December 1, and we’ll ship them to the Partnership for the Homeless. You can also receive some great discounts for your kindness. Click here for more information.

So swing by the Studio to say hello to Andrea (pictured), me, and all the other crafters as we give to a worthy cause!

    Hi Andrea
    My name is Andrea also. I am looking for a project to do with all the left over odds and ends I have to give to chariety. Can you point me in the right direction please?

    Zontee says: Hi Andrea, to find a local charity, check out our Charity Connection. Projects you can do with leftovers include anything striped, blocks for Warm Up America! Foundation, hats, mittens, toys, etc. For more ideas, click here to see archived articles about our Charity Knit & Crochet-Along, in which we invited knitters & crocheters to do something for charity. Hopefully the reader comments will give you some ideas.
