Want to loom knit for a local charity? The best way to start is by contacting the volunteer services of the charity you’d like to loom knit for. Chances are they already have a system in place to help you do this. Some organizations will require you to fill out a volunteer application and run a background check. Some organizations may also ask you to keep track of the number of hours that you spend creating your items (volunteer hours).If you live in the Seattle area and would like to knit for Overlake Hospital, they are in need of teen and adult chemo caps and scarves. Children’s Hospitals are in need of 24×24” and 36×36” blankets for infants and head scarves to be placed in the chapel. State regulations require that you wash and individually bag each item. Don’t forget to put the size on the outside of the bag so the nurses will know which ones will fit which patients.
