We have a new outreach project that is a fun, mind bending little blanket.  Like our 9 swatch blankets, we are going to donate these blankets to Burbank Juvenile Bureau to be distributed to children on distress calls.  This is a great blanket to work on during the Knit for Food knit-a-thon, or any time you want to try a new technique.  This link will take you to a pdf download of the pattern.
​Do you feel you are in a rut and not challenging yourself to learn new knit and crochet stitches.  Please join us  every Monday (except Guild Meeting nights) from 7pm – 9pm (PCT) and learn a new pattern and then make a swatch with this pattern. 
 
Patterns are available for both knitting and crocheting.

Once you have 9 swatches, they can be made into a child's blanket, which can be donated to your local police or fire department.
