Just in time for Valentine's Day, our community is coming together to create a vibrant collection of hand-knit and crocheted hearts that will be installed along the fence around Abernethy as a show of care + love for our school families in these tough times. The project is the brainchild of Ellen Spitaleri, Abernethy neighbor, former educator and avid knitter - thank you Ellen, you're a gem <3 <3 <3
This is a full-on community project, so here are ways you can participate!
Attend Our Heart Knitting Event this Thurs 2/5!
- Our local yarn shop, Fiber Rhythm, is hosting us for a knit-along!
- Stop by the shop (2505 SE 11th Ave., enter along Division St.) this Thursday, February 5th, any time between 5-8pm and make hearts with us!
- We'll provide the yarn and patterns, but please bring your own needles and hooks!
Help Install the Hearts! Wed, 2/11
- Meet at the Abernethy gazebo on Wednesday, February 11th at 8:30am for the installation.
- *Hearts, installation supplies, coffee, tea + baked goodies will be provided!
- The students have no idea this is happening, so we're excited to surprise them with LOVE!
- Bring: warm clothing and any finished hearts you might have!
Excited about this project, but the event timings don't line up? You can still participate!
