The magic continues, and hats and other warm items keep coming in. We have reached a total of 2673 items so far. As it's only mid-December, we will most likely surpass our total of 3347 warm items last season. Your gift of warmth is being spread throughout the city. 

Happy Holidays!

Final Total for season 2023/24



The final total number of items collected for this past winter season was 3347; the most collected ever per winter season! More and more knitters are finding this group. 

We are now starting to collect for next winter. You can hang on to the items for now and send them towards fall or you can send them throughout the year; whichever way you prefer.

We are continuing to meet at Butter Bakery on Nicollet and 37th S on the third Saturday of every month from 11-1, if you'd like to drop off. We'd love to see you there to hang out and knit with us as well.
