Knit a Bear ๐Ÿงธ

Come use one of the shop's knitting machines to knit a bear for a child who needs comforting.

The Machine Knitters Guild of San Diego is knitting bears and little blankies for kids in emergency situations. The knits go to first responders, who give them to children they meet on a call. This is the Guild's current charity knitting focus.

Make Lively is supporting the Guild by providing the machines and the space. Patterns and donated yarn will be here for you.

This is not a class. We'll help each other as we go, but there is no instructor teaching how to knit the bear at these sessions.
