Stitch by Stitch - God's Love, Our Hands

Do you knit or crochet? First Lutheran has a large supply of yarn which you can turn into knitted or crocheted items that can help others. The yarn is available in Room 104 (downstairs, off Fellowship Hall). Stop in anytime to pick up yarn and get started on a project. Return finished items to the drop box in Room 104. Your knitted and crocheted items will be taken to places such as Compass Center, Eastside Baby Corner, Mary’s Place, nursing homes, animal shelters, and the Multiservice Center. You could also knit for our prayer shawl ministry.
Needed items include:

• Warm hats for men, women, and children
• Warm scarves for men, women, and children
• Sweaters for infants and children to size 14
• Twin bed size afghans
• Infant blankets
• Prayer shawls
• Kitty blankets for the Seattle Humane Society (about 2 x 2 feet)
• We also have a large amount of cotton yarn suitable for dishcloths, potholders, or other projects.
