The Hooks and Needles group is seen at a November gathering at Fallbrook Library where they would normally meet every Monday and Friday from 10 a.m. to noon.
FALLBROOK – The nonprofit Fallbrook Blanket Project continue to knit and crochet in social isolation at home. Hooks and Needles group met every Monday and Friday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Fallbrook Library.
Once everyone is back together and the library has reopened, the group welcomed the community to join their free sessions. The yarn is free, and anyone can learn to knit or crochet or just sit and chat.
The Fallbrook Blanket Project donates twin-sized or larger blankets, afghans, lap-sized blankets, baby and cuddle blankets, layettes, hats, scarves, dolls and bears, anything that can be made with yarn, as well as a few quilts to local and North County charities.
The group has also given items to fire and flood victims in Texas and California and animal nests to Australia. At this time, over 3,814 items have been donated or are being made. Fallbrook Blanket Project donations can also be seen at most local fundraisers in the silent auctions.
Since its beginning in November 2014, the Fallbrook Blanket Project has donated items to 27 area charities. Additionally, more than 100 blankets, afghans and other items were sent to aid fire victims in Paradise in 2019. Other items have been donated to many fundraising events.
The group would love to have more residents join them when they regather at the library and it always welcomes donations of yarn and financial contributions. For more information, contact Carmen Willard at (314) 803-0986 or [email protected].
