The Weekly Stitch


Another beautiful weekend of cool Fall weather and our first opportunity of the season to wear our hand knitted and crocheted items - anyone pull out their scarves and hats this weekend?   I know that anyone who had an outdoor sporting event sure needed them!  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 Connection at FBC McKinney (NOTE ROOM CHANGE)

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 started this past week with 12 excited boys and girls - it's amazing how quickly they are catching on after just one lesson.  We can still use more teachers though - so far, there are only 3 teachers this week and we need at least 4-5.  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.  

Take care and God bless,
