Event Description:

This group of talented One Brick volunteers meets monthly to knit and/or crochet scarves and hats for our local community, and would love to have you join them!

What we'll be doing:

Whether you love to knit (or crochet) or you'd like to learn -- this is the perfect event for you.For 2014 we will be donating to KAFPA:Kinship, Adoptive, and Foster Parent Association which will distribute the hats and scarves to their Foster and Adoption children. If you would like to make items for other charities, that's okay -- feel free to join us anyway!

What you should know:

This is a hybrid One Brick Social / Volunteering event.While we do have a few experienced people who love to teach others how to knit and/or crochet, there are no formal training classes.Please bring your own needles, hooks, yarn, etc. However, if you do not have any materials we will have a few extra crochet hooks and knitting needles and some yarn on hand to get you started.We always welcome donations of yarn or knitting/crocheting materials to the One Brick Knits group.For any questions, please contact darcyb at onebrick dot org

In 2011 we donated 160 hats/scarves to Sunnyvale Community Services.

In 2012 we donated 180 hats/scarves to Sacred Heart in San Jose.

In 2013 we donated 214 hats/scarves to Cityteam International in San Jose
