For Eloise

For Eloise

As many of you know, there was a Ravelry meet-up last Sock Summit, and we were delighted that the Ravelry Team were able to attend. As many of you also know, Ravelry won’t be attending this year, on account of them having a wonderful new little member—the brand spanking-new and absolutely lovely Eloise.

We wanted to give all you Rav-fans all a chance to meet-up, and to do something nice to celebrate the birth of Eloise. Naturally, because we are knitters, we wanted to knit her something. Maybe have a baby shower, but because we’re superstitious, we wanted to wait until she had arrived. Now that the wee Miss is here, and now that we realize that she’s one of the most knitted for babies on earth, we thought that we would use the celebration of her birth to spread a little joy and knitting to some babies and children who aren’t lucky enough to be born into her circumstances.

Meet up with your fellow Ravelers from 8:00 -  10:00 pm on Saturday July 30th outside the Oregon Ballroom in the Holladay Lounge and have a special kind of baby shower.

We’re inviting you to bring a little knitted something to the shower, and drop it off with us. After the meet-up, we’ll be taking it to SnowCap - a Portland charity that provides food, clothing and advocacy to those who need it. The babies and children who are served by SnowCap are unlikely to ever be on the receiving end of a gorgeous handknit, and you can be the one to give it to them. We’ll make the donation in Eloise’s name.

... and please don’t feel limited to baby things. We’ll accept anything they need clothing wise. 

We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Eloise the way that only knitters can.
