We wish you happy holidays and a happy, healthy New Year!
Knit One, Purl One, Help Many!
We want to give a big hand to
members of the Knitting and
Crochet Club, who are using their
hands and their hobby to help
others. Members of the group have
crafted more than 200 hats, scarves
and blankets to donate to children
and families who need them.
More than 25 years ago, Hanc Weiner started the club, and she still guides the
members, who meet weekly on Wednesdays. Even though she leaves town for
the winter, Weiner checks in with the group by speaker phone. Each week, 15-25
knitters typically show up and get to work, using yarn that was donated.
“We use the skills of knitting to help others in need. It makes us feel useful, and
we are able to give back to the community,” said Pat Thalman.
Donations have been sent to Mercy Home, PADS Family Shelter, The Ark,
Women’s Center of Greater Chicago, Make It Better Foundation, the University
of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital (for children who receive
cochlear implants), and a few schools. The knitters recently received a letter
from the Ark that said, “Thank you so much for the beautiful knitted items.
One is more beautiful than the next! You may never see the faces of those
people whom you have helped by this donation; please allow me, on their
behalf, to express their gratitude.”
Working alongside each other, the knitters share patterns, ideas, instruction,
snacks and friendship. Senior Center members can join the group at any time.
The women say they’re happy to welcome beginners and will teach anyone who
does not know how to knit. Donations of yarn also are welcome at any time.
