Gathering Hands is comprised of knitters and crocheters who share a common goal of helping others through various projects. You don't need to live close by to be part of Gathering Hands. Our hands can reach many!
Everyone is invited to be a part of GATHERING HANDS. You can help from your own home or your own knitting/crochet group and if in Maine or within driving distance of the Windham area please drop by and say hello.
OPERATION HOMEFRONT KIDS: The intention of this project is to make a difference in the life of a child from Maine who has a parent serving in the Military. I'm working together with the Non-profit organization called "Operation Homefront" that has chapters throughout the United States. The Maine chapter has requested that the items should be made to fit from newborn to age 13. I'm looking for sweaters; hats, scarves & mittens; socks, purses, afghans or what you think a child would like.
OPERATION SUNSHINE BEARS: This is such a touching and fun project. I have a free one-seam knit Teddy Bear pattern available at the shop or by email at your request. The bears will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House and Maine Medical Child Life Program Barbara Bush Wing in Portland, Maine, and to Police and Firemen to give to children in crisis. These are wonderful Teddy Bears and I hope you will participate by making them too and help bring a smile to the face of a child. I want to give a very special "Thank You" to Eva McDonald who created this pattern and gave me permission to use and alter it for this project.
OPERATION RICHIE'S CAP: This is a project for making chemo caps for cancer patients in memory of my friend, Richie Aaron. I have created a knit and crochet pattern and it's free when you'll make a cap to donate. This project continues to be such a success as I receive hats from all over the country from customers that have come by the shop or read about it on-line and mail them on to me. I encourage yarns for warm caps for winter months and cotton, bamboo, etc. for summer months to protect against the sun.
OPERATION WARM HANDS: This is another wonderful project of making mittens for donation for the 2009-2010 winter season to those with a need. What a great small project for the knitter with little time and so worth while to a child with cold hands! I invite you to help in this project......it's a great summer project too!
IF YOU CAN KNIT OR CROCHET......CAN YOU HELP AND BECOME A PART OF GATHERING HANDS?
Together we can make a difference!
