Do You Need Yarn?
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! If you live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and need yarn, we’re happy to provide the materials to help you to craft for our veterans and their dependent(s)! Donating your time and efforts to our cause is most welcome and can really make a difference! So, if you need yarn or other supplies, please contact us through email at thriveassociation@thrivevets.org or by phone at (469) 427-9654. Please be aware that any communications are recorded. If you have donations and cannot make it to one of our in-person knitting groups, we are still continuing our policy of curbside pickup. Please contact us to schedule a pickup if you are in the DFW area. If you reside outside the DFW area and would like to make an in-kind donation, please contact us to make arrangements. Remember, even one lovingly handcrafted hat or scarf can make a huge difference in the life of an underprivileged veteran or their dependent(s).
Yarnspirations Crochet 3 in 1 Hand Warmer
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Today we would love to share an awesome free crochet mitten pattern compliments of Yarnspirations! The Crochet 3 in 1 Hand Warmer is a very versatile pattern, as it has three different variations that you can choose to craft: full, fingerless, and convertible mittens. One of the best parts is that it is easier than it appears, thanks to the included video tutorials!
The veterans and their dependents always love receiving our mittens at the Stand Downs and this pattern weaves up rather quickly, so it is a great project to tackle! The convertible variation is a really useful feature for our vets and their dependents to have dexterity with their fingers! The 3 part video tutorial clears up any difficulties that you’re sure to have, so you won’t get in over your head. Just make sure to remember to keep your split single crochets loose so that you won’t find yourself having trouble getting your hook into them on the next rounds.
