Join us at two Alternative Giving Fairs in December
Project Knitwell has been invited to participate in two alternative giving fairs: on December 2 in Takoma Park, MD, and on December 9 in Arlington, VA.
At both gift fairs, shoppers will have an opportunity to support Project Knitwell and other non-profits. Working from shopping lists provided by the non-profits, shoppers make donations to support a specific service or item, and can then in turn, “gift” that item to someone on their holiday shopping list. Both fairs are kid-friendly and will include an opportunity for children to “purchase” items for gifting.
Hope to see you at the fair! Or if you can’t make it, check out the websites to see how you can purchase gifts in support of area non-profits on line.

Shop on Giving Tuesday!
Our friends at fibre space and Looped Yarn Works will donate a percentage of sales on November 28 — #GivingTuesday to Project Knitwell to help us share #KnittingLove with moms and dads with sick babies, men and women affected by homelessness, nurses, teens with emotional challenges, cancer patients, and others for whom knitting provides wellness, comfort, and community. Everybody wins… you shop, you make holiday presents (or something for you!), and your purchase helps share the therapeutic benefits of knitting. 
Or if you’re done with your shopping, and just want to help share #KnittingLove, you can donate here: Share #KnittingLove

Ann Hood is Coming! October 28
Project Knitwell and One More Page Books are pleased to host author Ann Hood on Saturday October 28 at 2 pm for a conversation about the comfort of knitting, reading, writing, and more.
Ann Hood is the author of The Knitting Circle, Knitting Yarns, Knitting Pearls, and many other fiction and non-fiction titles. She has written extensively about the comfort and inspiration that both knitting and books can provide. In Comfort, a Journey through Grief, a memoir about the sudden death of her five year old daughter Grace, Hood writes: “Knitting saved my life.” 
She will read from her new release, Morningstar, and be available for a book signing.
The event will be held at 2200 N. Westmoreland St., #101 , Arlington, VA – in the Westlee, one floor up from One More Page.
Free and open to the public! Knitting during the event encouraged!
