The Weekly Stitch


So, I don't recommend this one, but I've discovered another way to get in a little extra knitting time - sitting home with your kiddo while he recovers from strep throat!  Not a lot of fun for anyone involved but you do have to stay home.  And, that's a great chance to catch up on some knitting (or, in my case, browsing the internet for my next project!).  

Here is what is going on with YOH this week:

Meetings:
Tuesday - 10AM in the Hospitality Room at FBC McKinney
Wednesday - 6:15PM in the Fireside Room at FBC McKinney

Ongoing projects:  Hats, scarves, blankets, toys for Texas Oncology McKinney, UT Southwestern Moncrief Radiation Oncology Clinic and Medical City Children's Hospital.  Also, preemie gowns, hats, sweaters and blankets for the LDR Unit at MCCH.  

Finch Knitting/Crochet Club - We have had 4 or 5 ladies volunteer to teach - YEA!!!  However, we can still use more.  If you are interested at all, please let me or Becca Masters know.  You don't need to do it every week or be an expert knitter/crocheter to help.  You will also need to fill out a volunteer background check at www.mckinneyisd.net.  

Yarns of Hope Bible Study is in full swing.  This week we will be discussing how we are created for risk.  We will be discussing how following our dreams and finding our purpose can be risky and scary but worthwhile and rewarding at the same time.  

Take care and God bless,

Good afternoon!

Wow - another week of cool weather.  Can anyone say sweaters and scarves and hats and mittens, here we come!!!  I truly think I was destined to become a knitter - I've always loved wearing sweaters and anything warm and woolly!  Here is what is going on with YOH this week.

Meetings:
Tuesday - 10AM in the Hospitality Room at FBC McKinney
Wednesday - 6:15PM in the Fireside Room at FBC McKinney

Ongoing projects:  Hats, scarves, blankets, toys for Texas Oncology McKinney, UT Southwestern Moncrief Radiation Oncology Clinic and Medical City Children's Hospital.  Also, preemie gowns, hats, sweaters and blankets for the LDR Unit at MCCH.

Yarns of Hope Bible Study is in full swing.  This week we will be discussing how we are created for dreams and how following our dreams can help us fulfill God's purpose for our lives.  Ever thought about it that way?  I know I haven't.

Take care and God bless,

Good afternoon!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this wonderful cooler weather! Makes me believe that Fall just might be around the corner.
 
Meetings:
Tuesday - 10AM in the Hospitality Room at FBC McKinney
Wednesday - 6:15PM in the Connection at FBC McKinney (NOTE ROOM CHANGE!)
 
Yarns of Hope Bible Study started this last week. We had about 15 ladies who joined us, about half of which were new to YOH and knitting/crocheting. We had a great time getting to know each other and talking about what we will be doing this semester. This week, we will be starting the book and learning about God's purpose for each of our lives. Did you know that we can often our purpose by examining what we are passionate about?
 
Finch Knitting/Crochet Club - We have already been contacted by the 5th grade teacher at Finch, expressing interest in continuing the knitting club this year. For this to be a success, we really need at least 5 or 6 dedicated teachers. If you are interested at all, please let me or Becca Masters know. You don't need to do it every week or be an expert knitter/crocheter to help. You will also need to fill out a volunteer background check at www.mckinneyisd.net.
