Tis the night before the Second Annual Robeson County Knit In and I can't think of a thing to rhyme with this. Truth is I've been busy getting a head start to make sure we have lots of baby caps, and booties to share with little babies this year. Using my knitting loom (yes I realize this is a little like cheating but it is so fast and easy and the caps are so cute) I whipped out a 4-H green hat. The one thing I have learned is that thicker yarn is better when it comes to the loom. Since I knocked out this cute little cap I decided, like babies a second should be on the way. I picked a more baby like yarn for the next cap. It too is machine washable and will work for a boy or girl. It is white, fluffy with pick and blue specks all around.
Both caps will be part of the items collected as part of the 2nd Annual Robeson County Knit In which was created as part of the United Way Day of Caring. Each year the United Way holds a day where industries volunteer manpower to help families in need and nonprofits with a host of projects ranging from building wheelchair ramps to painting buildings. For the second year running a group of us will meet at a predesignated location (Lumberton Chevrolet this year) to knit our hearts out. Knitters and non knitters are welcome we will add some lessons and lots of looms to our list of supplies. So if you would like a day of knitting come on out to Lumberton Chevrolet starting at 9 am tomorrow and we will help you make neat and awesome items that will be donated to either the Cancer Center (for adult items) or Southeastern Regional Medical Center (for babies). Last year we had about 100 items donated and hope to exceed that this year. Any questions give Margaret Crites a call at the Robeson County Rape Crisis Center. You can also follow us on Facebook at Robeson County's Second Knit-In.
