Elizabeth House Afghan
MAKING A DIFFERENCE BY MAKING A GIFT
In 2011, K2TOG is supporting Elizabeth House , a transitional housing facility for women and children in Oakland, through fund-raising and creating afghans as gifts for the House and it's members.
As part of that effort, we have been working with recording artist Savannah Jo Lack at Knit-Ins during Oakland's Art Murmur in February, March and April.
LN Hand Sleeves
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR WORLD COMMUNITY
The LN-4 hand was developed and named by industrial engineer Ernie Meadows as a memorial to his daughter, Ellen, who was killed in an automobile accident. He wanted to give free prosthetic hands to landmine victims throughout the world. This mechanical, non-medical prosthetic hand proved so successful that it is now fitted on victims of any kind of accident and people who were born without a hand.
Richmond High School Math proFISHency Hats
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN A CHILD'S WORLD
This project started with a discussion among East Bay Knitters (EBK), a great group of knitters who meet on the first and third Mondays of each month at K2TOG from 5-9PM. You are always welcome to join in.
An East Bay Knitters (EBK) member and math teacher at Richmond High School (CA) shared with EBK members her desire for her students to do well on the state-mandated math tests. She was searching for ways to make the students take it seriously and increase their motivation.
