The Violetta Cowl
Firstly, we’d like to thank our donors for contributing several skeins of yarn to our cause! We couldn’t continue our work without your support. We are also grateful to all of our volunteers for their compassion, hard work, and dedication. A very special thanks goes out to those who come out to our Craft-a-thons as well!
Next up this week is an awesome new project that is a sure keep our brave veterans warm during the long, chilly Fall and Winter months. Yes, it is very warm and soft! This glamorous cowl was made using Lion Brand’s Violetta Cowl pattern number #L40511 – it is available as a free download on their website. (The link is provided below.) It is a perfect beginner level project, and is a fantastic way to practice your stitches!
The Violetta Cowl pattern is available here:

Hats Off to Free Hat Patterns!
It’s time for a free pattern! The hat showcased below was made using the following pattern:

(There is also a link to the pattern available on T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s Ravelry page here.)
It is perfect for any skill level and can be easily resized by adding or subtracting from the called for cast on stitches. The pattern is very easy to follow and knits up very quickly! We made this particular hat by using Lion Brand’s Thick and Quick with size 15 circular needles. We altered the cast on stitches to 44 rather than 40 to better fit a large adult man.
For this week’s Craft-a-thon, we will be meeting again this Friday night at Half Priced Books located at this address:
Half Price Books at 5803 Northwest Hwy, Dallas, TX 75231
Friday Craft-a-thon at Half Price Books
Firstly, just a quick line of thanks to Michael’s for hosting our last Craft-a-thon. We had a fantastic night with lots of fun and treats! One of our newest volunteers even learned how to crochet her first hat! Way to go! This week we will be meeting at Half Price Books to continue with our tradition of a Friday Night Craft-a-thon. The address is:
Half Price Books at 5803 Northwest Hwy, Dallas, TX 75231
Stay tuned, as we’ll be posting some sewing patterns in the near future. As usual, to ensure that our veterans receive the highest quality goods, our staff are the first to test each pattern before we endorse them. Again, we are hoping to have enough mittens, hats, and scarves to hand out to each individual that comes through our line.
