Instagram post 2131540427753858785_1522300926 Is Throwback Thursday still a thing? Going through files and found this photo from 2015 of Megan, a staff member from ob/gyn at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. She’s wearing the first hat she knit. This yellow/gold is an “in” color this season (we hope you’re still wearing your hat Megan!) and we’re still knitting with hospital staff who need a way to de-stress. #hospitalknitting #obgynstaff @georgetownartsandhumanities @medstarhealth
Instagram post 2130675032788333126_1522300926 A particularly appropriate day to share this post focused on helping and welcoming others from @claraparkes #Repost @claraparkes with @get_repost ・・・ Calling all knitters. Crocheters, too! This is your call to yarns. Maine’s newest asylum-seekers are facing their first New England winter. Having fled their homes in the Congo and Angola and then traveled more than 10,000 miles, they didn’t exactly have time to stock up on warm winter woolens before they got here. This is where knitters and crocheters come in. I realize that we all have urgent concerns vying for our time and resources right now. But if your needles are idle and this speaks to your heart, I invite you to join me. They need warm hats and mittens, especially for babies and children. You can send your knitted and crocheted masterpieces to: Maine Access Immigrant Network 237 Oxford St., Suite 25A Portland, ME 04101
