Project Linus Knit-and-Crochet-Along
Announcing our FIRST EVER Project Linus Knit-and-Crochet-Along!
For the past few years Project Linus has hosted a Quilting Mystery Challenge. We felt it was time to offer that fun to those who knit and crochet. Here’s how this will work: Starting February 23, 2019, you can sign up to join the knit-and-crochet-along by clicking on the link on our website, www.projectlinus.org. Every two weeks, beginning March 2nd, we will release a new part of the pattern. The pattern has 5 parts, and at the end of the 10 weeks we will have the Big Reveal! This challenge is a fundraiser for Project Linus. For a donation of $15 you can sign up to join us. If you would like both patterns you will need to donate for both, $30.00. You can designate your funds to go to WA. Peninsula/Sequim chapter if you wish, and they will receive the entire amount to use for chapter expenses. Once you sign up, a preparation page will be available to you. Please join us on our Facebook, “Project Linus Knit and Crochet Along”, where you can meet other participants, get help, and show pictures of your progress as we go along. |
Thank you from Children's Hospital
