Every year we ask the community to make something for others. This year we are collecting handmade winter accessories for our friends at On the Rise in Cambridge. Knit, crochet, or stitch something that will not only provide warmth but will also be a small symbol of a caring community. Drop off your handcrafted accessories by December 17, 2018 so we can deliver them to On the Rise in time for the holidays. Your donation also enters you into a raffle to win some very cool fiber-focused prizes. So get busy with your needles and hooks!
