After six years of making care shawls and lap robes for those at UUFH who are dealing with illness or having a hard time, the Care Shawl group has disbanded. We thank the members of this group for their lovely handknit and crocheted contributions to the well-being of our congregants.
The Pastoral Associates will attempt to take over this task on an informal basis. We still have a few lap robes in our care for distribution, and we would be happy to receive more from any knitters and crotchetiers who wish to make them for us.
I can share patterns and yarn suggestions with knitters, and hope someone might help with crochet patterns. Machine-wash and dry yarn is most practical, and the work is done on large needles to go more quickly. Please call or email me for information if you are able to help!
