IDEA STUDIO
Creative Needle Arts
Idea Studio has a Charity Knit Night every 2nd Wednesday of
every month from 6-8 PM. We invite all knitters and
crocheters to join us in an evening of conversation, snacks, and fun
while making 8" by 8" squares for our charity afghans. We
have a supply of donated yarn that is available to all volunteers
wishing to make blanket squares, sweaters, mittens, hats or scarves.
If you provide the squares, the staff at Idea will do all the
assembly and finishing, and hand them out.
Over the past 8 years, we have donated about 75 blankets to LaGrange
women's and children's shelters, the BEDS program, hospices, hospitals,
and homeless shelters. In addition, we have donated scarves,
hats, mittens, and sweaters to Snug Hugs for Kids and other local
children in need. We also participate in the Red Scarf
project, providing handmade care packages to orphans in
college.
If you know of an organization in need of donations, please
let us know and we will send them our next group of donated items.
Idea is currently seeking yarn donations so that we may continue to
provide yarn to volunteers free of charge. Washable fibers
(including any old acrylic yarns) are perfect for our afghans, but we
accept any type or quantity. In particular, we are looking
for any cotton yarns to be used for making baby blankets and hats.
Thank you to all of the people who have donated supplies, time, and
expertise. We saught to make a difference in our community,
and with your help we know we have!
