Welcome to Knitting for Charity!

Are you a passionate knitter — so passionate, in fact, that your family and friends have told you that they really don’t need any more hand knits? 

Are you frustrated because you can’t find anyone else who will take what you knit? 

Are you struggling with time or techniques? Is either (or maybe both!) giving you headaches? 

Could you use some new, fresh ideas because you’re bored with knitting the same old projects? 

I’m Nicole, and I believe there’s someone who needs what you love to knit!

What others have said about Knitting for Charity

I’ve only been at this less than 4 weeks and you have easily solved all the obstacles I have encountered so far. I am so blessed to have found you.”

Lynell

I just have a hard time picking out what project to do, so I asked Nicole to help me and she picked some out for me. I’m even more pleased with this group now.”

Tacy

I’ve been a knitter and crocheter for over 50 years and have a big stash I’d like to use it. And donating for those in need sounds great and fulfilling. I’m a retired nurse and have lots of free time. I’m starting first thing in the morning. Thank you, thank you for expanding my horizons!!!”

Imagine that you

… feel excited to knit whenever you can, because you’ve found great patterns. 

… have all the resources you need, and you’re loving what you can knit — frustration-free! 

… know who will take your knitting and how much it’s appreciated. 

… find ways to knit in the gaps of your day, so you get to knit at least a little bit daily. 

And most of all: 

Imagine that you feel a powerful sense of purpose and generosity because you know that your knitting is making a difference!

Meet your guide to charity knitting, Nicole Haschke

I picked up knitting needles for the first time over a decade ago and became obsessed almost immediately. Soon thereafter, I was delighted to discover charity knitting. But after digging for more information about charities I could knit for, I felt swamped and confused by all the information out there. My first attempt resulted in listless, restless knitting because I hadn’t chosen the right project, even though I cared deeply about the people it would help. Later, I found some adorable patterns that made me smile, and I couldn’t get enough!

You see, it’s not just about finding the right cause. Nor is it just about finding the right patterns. You need both!

Today I’m a happy charity knitter. I have the satisfaction of knowing that my knitting has a purpose. It’s not just a way to keep myself calmer or of having fun with sticks and string — though it’s both of those for sure. But more than that, it’s now a way for me to send love throughout the world in a positive way. And we all know the world needs all the love and positivity it can get!

Let’s Get Started!

If you’re brand new to the Knitting for Charity community and the Knitting Nuggets Newsletter, you can get started right here! Find out right away all the ways you can get the charity knitting help you need.

Hear from a few more about Knitting for Charity

I love knitting for people who need my efforts of knitting…it is fun imagining who might the lady be, where she might live, saying a prayer or two or three for her. Again, thank you, thank you…your enthusiasm in your quest is catching…keep up the good work!!!”

Ann

Are you missing your in-person knitting nights? If Are you missing your in-person knitting nights? If so, let me tell you about a virtual knitting event you won't want to miss! 

The great folks at Knit + Escape are holding a Galentine's Day virtual celebration from Feb. 4 to 6. A $10 ticket will give you access to vendor virtual booths and a whole lot of free content that includes fiber demos and lectures, farm tours, charity knitting, and much, MUCH more. 

And here's a bonus that I hope you'll love: your Marketplace Ticket includes access to the Friday Evening CHARITY KNIT NIGHT, an exciting event led by Kristy Glass, where I will be a special guest. We’ll have several opportunities for participants to ask questions and celebrate the spirit of giving!

I'm going to be talking about creating Bonding Hearts and how these wonderful little creations can help preemies and their families through an amazing organization called Mighty Miracles Foundation. 

I would LOVE to see you there, so I hope you'll join us! You'll find a registration link to this event in my profile.
(Please note: the following has nothing to do with (Please note: the following has nothing to do with charity knitting. But I can't be silent any longer. If I - and Knitting for Charity - am going to be for making the lives of others better, I have to speak up.) I've been wanting to say something for well over a week. But I felt like it wasn't my place to talk. This isn't my experience. I should be listening. 
But I want to make something clear. 
Systemic racism is not a theory. It's not a kooky idea. It's a fact of life. And whether white people feel like they've benefited from it or not (I'm sure most of us feel like we haven't)... we have. 
Sure, slavery is no more. Sure, Jim Crow laws are no more. But racism? It's still very much here. And it pushes down our brothers and sisters of color every. single. day. It makes them fear for their lives, no matter what they're doing. It makes their very existence a risk. 
And I've finally realized that it's not enough for me to believe these things in my heart and go on with my life as if there's nothing more I can do. It's not enough to be proudly "not a racist." By my silence, by my inaction, I'm perpetuating a system that feeds off black and brown human beings. 
So: this is my first step. 
I discovered Brownicity.com. And there, I discovered this book. It's a workbook, actually - kind of like a course in book form. Here's what the page says about it: "This journey guide was designed to lead the ‘beginner’ through an enlightening and introspective first steps of race/ism analysis and healing. It can be used to support a group or individual’s study." I've dived in and I'm already getting an education. And I can't wait to learn more. 
We're not going to change the world in a day. Or even a week. But each of us can start taking steps to unlearn racism. (Yes, even a proud "non-racist" like me has racism to unlearn.) This doesn't have to be your book or your path. But do *something* to start listening. In the barest glimpses of social media, you're bound to find lists of books, movies, documentaries, podcasts, and so on. I've already seen more of those than I can count. (Cont'd in comments)

Spent some time this weekend recording the first v Spent some time this weekend recording the first video lesson of my spiral rib tube sock knitting class. It will be releasing very soon... who's excited? #charityknittersofinstagram #learningtoknitsocks
I've been so inspired by all the people releasing I've been so inspired by all the people releasing free help during this time of crisis. Zoos and aquariums and nature livecams all over... Broadway offering free videos of their shows... musicians offering free living room concerts...and so on. 
So I decided to offer my own kind of help.

So this happened. 😭 Thank God for Friday nights So this happened. 😭 Thank God for Friday nights in which there's nothing going on, so we can drive to the nearest yarn shop (40 minutes away). #SockNeedleCrisis

Just finished a very special project: creating the Just finished a very special project: creating these pocket prayer cloths for our community's Blue Christmas service. This is a service for folks who, for myriad reasons, don't feel merry or joyful as they think they ought to. Praying that these cloths will remind them of God's love and constant presence. #charityknittersofinstagram #prayerclothknittersofinstagram
