Knitting for the homeless

KnitWits is an organization driven by volunteers which provides warm clothing to men, women and children with HIV/AIDS, Hmong and Somali refugee children, South Asian women touched by violence, poverty-stricken families, and many others who cannot afford warm clothing in this season throughout the US. They provide fleece and yarn to volunteers who can then sew together mitten-shaped cut outs.

We took up the project in the Michigan Amma center as a youth project but soon many members from the ashram actively joined. With over 18 participants, we had a great time sitting as a group and doing something to help the community! We spent the time together sharing stories of our experiences with Amma and other projects we could do. For many of us, this was the first the first experience sewing and knitting so it was also a learning experience. We made and decorated a total of 16 pairs of toddler-sized mittens.
