Our Greater Hands

Through out this project I have meet incredible groups of knitters. All of whom have knitted love into the many hats donated.

The Knitting Garden in Coral Gables contributed greatly in both yarn and hats. The Knitting Garden is a small cozy store full of yarn and dedicated knitters eager to begin new projects as well as help any fellow knitter.

The Knit and Nosh group is a group of Jewish knitters who meet in the Bet Breira Samu-El Or Olom Temple. They are constantly looking for new knitting projects that will allow them to share their talent with someone who needs it most.

Through my Ravelry account I have had the pleasure of meeting the Fiberistas. This group of knitters are in Palm Beach Gardens and are always ready to knit. They are friendly, giving, and great knitters. I was able to knit with them in the Jonathan Dickinson Park and in a local Starbucks, where I met the mother of Kae, a 5 year old girl who forced her mother to teach her to knit so she could make the hats and make people happy. Being a new knitter myself she helped me discover the loom of which I was able to teach my grandmother to use. We were able to exchange yarns, hats, and great memories.

Through Ravelry I also came in contact with Knit Nurd, who contributed hats and connected me with Halos for Hope. Halos of Hope is a non-profit organization started by Pamela Haschke, a Breast Cancer survivor. The volunteers are constantly knitting hats for cancer patients through out the United States. Pamela sent me hats eager to know that Halos of Hope would reach yet another center.

Another major contributor was Olga Fanjul. A dedicated knitter in my building who single handedly knitted 27 hats for this project. She is remarkable lady who makes gorgeous color combinations in all of her knitted creations. They are each truly a unique piece of art.

Support

I am so grateful to all who are making this challenge possible: Halos of Hope www.halosofhope.org, The Fiberistas from Palm Beach Gardens, The KNIT and NOSH from West Kendall, The Knitting Garden from Coral Gables, all individual signed knitters/crochetters, you are all amazing!!!! Your hearts are immense.
