Perhaps I should give a little background on the North Warren KnitWits: When I moved to Blairstown 6 years ago I saw an ad in the paper announcing this group. I called the number and was invited to the next meeting...and have been with them ever since (over 3 years).
We meet socially every Wednesday from 9am to 12noon at the Blairstown Community Center to knit and crochet various items that are donated to several charities and organizations in Warren County and any surrounding community that requests our services.
One does not have to attend the meetings to belong; many knit/crochet from home. All ages are welcome to join the NW KnitWits. We even have a man who attends; he's a really fast crocheter and can't read a pattern!
By the end of 2005 our group distributed over 1200 items to nursing homes, hospitals, adult centers, vets, children's programs and other various programs.
We accept and greatly appreciate any donations of yarn.
The NW KnitWits have been in existence for over 10 years. They are part of the RSVP program (Retired Senior and Volunteer Program) of NORWESCAP, based in Phillipsburg, NJ.
