#halosofhope

Motivation or self torture? Either way I’m packing up the last 19 hats for #halosofhope. Seeing all the beautiful yarn and squeezable stitch patterns I can’t wait to knit again! • #mswarrior #crohnswarrior #knittersofinstagram #knit #knitting #nocolonstillrollin #charityknitting #knittoheal #knittingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByaqyP5J72v/?igshid=1m3o8rpp2hag7

I haven’t knitted since June 22. Eight days in the hospital then nine days at home; I’m still healing - just differently. I’ve gone from wheelchair to walker to cane. I’ve been obsessed with a video game. I have continued to lose weight and try to eat but it’s rough. I’ve lost more weight but we see the GI team tomorrow. . Knitting was lost to me during this flare, those fingers just couldn’t dance anymore. It takes a chunk of me every time I lose it, and getting back into just reminds me how quickly it can be gone. This coupled with the isolation bc of my immune system is messing with my brain a bit. . A #charityhat is perfect, I hope, to at least get my mind off myself. I need to be useful in any way I can right now, I need to feel like me. . Till then IGers, may your days be full of things you love and your wips are well behaved. . #knit #knitting #knittersofinstagram #halosofhope #alpaca #wool #charitybeanie #knittoheal #knitallthethings #knitallthehats #osubuckeye #yarn #yarnporn #fairisleknitting

It's early to be collecting, I know, but with a busted finger I thought it would be the perfect time to beg for yarn! . Here's some info: - We have 9 churches this year - We are hoping to be teaching college students interested in charity knitting this winter - We have 4 nursing homes - We have 2 Alzheimer's Extended Care Facilities - We have 7 full time bereavement knitters who only knit for that cause - We have, wait for it, 19! nurses making premie hats!!!!! - We work with @stitchesfromtheheart @halosofhope #thelinusproject and local hospitals - We have two who only make blankets for the children's long term psychiatric at Children's Hospital - Annnd 4 who only knit toys send where they are needed . I'm sure I've forgotten some but THESE NUMBERS ARE MAGICAL! All of these people Knit/crochet from their own stash but I'd love to get some yarn into their hands! . I am asking for donations for anything! Yarn, needles, hooks - anything you don't want - I do! . I know this is long but please stay with me!!🤗 . This year we've raised some support and for every skein of yarn they will match $2 - THAT'S INSANE! Please help me raise money, awareness and yarny goodness for all these loving knitters! . -DM me for more info -If you want to send something special for a knitter please label it so it's not just weighed and sent off. - I'll add every donators name to the yarn so your name will be on the donated item as well . Please consider sending something, anything to these wonderful people!!!!!!!!! . #ravelry #knit #crochet #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #yarn #charityknitting #halosofhope #premieknits
