Knitting for Others

knittersbible100px

For the Spring Bible Study Series, my church offered a non-traditional study called “Knitting for Others”. This class is for both beginners and experienced knitters who want to use their skill to bless others. Topics include basic knitting stitches, reading patterns, and experimenting with different types of needles and yarns. Class supplies and materials have been donated by the church, and we’re using The Knitter’s Bible as the textbook.

I was so excited about the opportunity to knit baby items for the local Pregnancy Resource Center and for preemies at local hospitals, as well as helmet liners for our soldiers. Over 30 women signed up for the class, and because of the size we were divided into sub-groups of five or six for fun and fellowship. I’ve met so many new knitters with a heart to knit to donate to charity, and I have been blessed by their generosity.

Each week we start a new project or learn a new stitch. You can work at your own pace and move to new projects without waiting for the entire class. In the four weeks since the class began, I’ve knitted cotton dishcloths, three preemie sets (cap and blanket), and hope to begin a helmet liner at the next class.

Soon the class will end, but my prayers are that we will continue to meet, and maybe an advanced class will be held in the Fall.
