K2Tog-Uniting
the Community through Needleworks
Announcing
our community service program - K2Tog - that we hope you'll
participate in over the next year.
Creative
Fibers LLC is committed to the community; both the
knitting/crochet/spinning community, and the community we live
in. This year we will be using our talents to support a number
of community projects. We’re very excited about this
opportunity to serve others.
This
year, K2Tog will focus on four key areas:
-
Clothing for Preemies: K2Tog
will sponsor activities designed to inspire you and others to
create tiny items for these 1 - 5 pound infants.
We
knit these tiny hats to be donated to the
following Intensive Care Unit (NICU)'s :
- Bay
State NICU -Springfield, MA
- Hartford
NICU - Hartford, CT
- Manchester NICU - Manchester, CT
- St. Francis NICU - Hartford, CT
- UCONN
NICU - Farmington, CT

Project
Linus: This national organization donates blankets to provide love, a sense of
security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously
ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. Stay tuned for
news as K2Tog builds support for the local chapter in the
creation of knit squares or complete blankets.

Early Years Enrichment Program: To help our little
ones develop necessary and important small motor skills, K2Tog
is looking to partner with the Windsor Family Resource Center
to offer needle-arts activities.
-
Middle School Knitting Program: K2Tog is
investigating an after school enrichment program to direct our
teens to using their hands and time in a constructive and
skillful manner.
