Thank You!

Happy Friday to our lovely T.H.R.I.V.E. family! We would like to take a moment and reflect on all that we are thankful for this year. First and foremost, we are so grateful for our amazing veterans and their families who sacrifice so much of themselves. Thank you all so much for your service to our great Nation! You all will always have our deepest respect and love. Secondly, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of those who are currently serving- including the families of those service members. We are truly thankful for your service.  And, last, but certainly never least, we are so incredibly grateful to our community partners, donors, crafters, volunteers, and our incredible staff who all help to ensure that we are able to fulfill our noble mission. Thank you all! 

Together we will end homelessness among our Nation’s brave heroes and their dependents. 


Free Mitten Pattern!

Before getting started, T.H.R.I.V.E. Association would like to send out our most sincere thanks to Fox 4 and to CBS 11 for their wonderful coverage! Thank you both for helping to spread T.H.R.I.V.E.’s message to the Metroplex; We are so grateful! We would also like to offer a special thanks to Ms. Amy Hunt for all of her wonderful efforts.

We’d like to recognize our devoted volunteers whose tireless efforts have allowed T.H.R.I.V.E. Association to continue to expand and meet the needs of more homeless veterans across the country! We are so proud of each and every one of you! Let’s keep the momentum going!

With that in mind, we’ve added more free patterns to our Ravelry page! Be sure to join the group, as we will be adding more in the near future. Showcased this week is a simple, yet precious pattern for super bulky mittens. This pattern is available free of charge on T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s Ravelry page. (If you have not done so already, please sign up for a free account.) As usual, rather than using a wool or wool blend, we used Lion Brand Thick and Quick. For our speed knitters our there, these mittens were able to be made in a single day! Just a quick side note about the size: these mittens are admittedly pretty small, but are perfect for a petite adult or a child.

Please be sure to check out this pattern and others at:

As an added bonus, we’ll be crafting to a live band, the Pretty Good Singers, at this week’s Friday Night Craft-a-thon at the Flagship Half Price Books on Northwest Highway! Please be sure to sign up for the event on Facebook here – http://www.facebook.com/events/1797365963812360/ , to let us know that you’re coming. We look forward to seeing you!
