I learned to knit almost two decades ago (in Girl Scouts, actually), but have only recently seriously returned to it. (Thanks, quarantine!)
I started knitting again after visiting the oldest yarn shop in NYC with my best friend, an avid knitter. While we were browsing I fell in love with a hand-dyed alpaca/merino blend yarn in beautiful blues and purples and greys. It came home with me, even though I had no idea what I was going to do with it. Fast forward a few weeks and I’m recovering from surgery, bored and itching to play with my new yarn.
Four months later, and I’ve finished fi--, er, SIX projects and am looking for more as I devour new stitch tutorials and find new patterns. Everyone is getting a knitted present for the holidays this year.

The Knitathon will run for 12 hours. Participants can join for however long they are available. It is important to note that the longer you participate, the more money you raise, so stay for as long as you can!
