Needles For Newborns ~ Crafting With Purpose

needlesflyer1Ok, I get it… I pretty much start every post with “I’m so excited” or “We’re so excited.”  But come on!  I work in a craft store everyday how can I not be constantly excited?

So again, and this time more so than others I am SO EXCITED!  Paste is teaming up with South City Studios and Girls Guide to the Galaxy to present Needles for Newborns.  It’s a 24 hour needle event to benefit St. Louis Children’s Hospital.  Paste will be open 24 hours welcoming local knitters and crocheters willing to donate a little time to make hats, mittens, and blankets for newborns.

Local crafters can sign up in two hour slots (or more if your super wonderful!) to get the needles working.  And if doing it for charity isn’t enough we’re being supported by some very wonderful local restaurants.  I mean girls gotta eat right?  Food will be donated by Nadines Gin Joint, Soulard Coffee Garden, Feraro’s Jersey Style Pizza and Carondelet Bakery.

And of course a special thanks to Cara McKinlay for designing this awesomely cute flyer.  I kind of want to print it out and cuddle with it!  Also to the Ink Spot for giving us a super good deal on printing.

To participate or donate email pastesoulard@gmail.com or call 314-577-6930

    Hi!

    When is this going to happen? I can’t seem to find the date in the post or the flyer. Maybe I’m blind.

    Could you email me the flyer so I can post to the STL Stitch n B*tch and STL City Knitters Yahoo Groups?

    I can also post on Ravelry.

    I’ll be signing up for several shifts depending on the date.

    Thanks!

    Katie this is awesome! I wish I could knit or something, but I can’t, so if you need my support in any other way let me know, I’d love to help out!

    How will this work? Should I bring my own yarn, needles, and pattern to work from? Sounds like fun and a great cause!
