Goodbye for now...

Our scarves for the 2015 Special Olympics of Kentucky

After 21 years at Kentucky Country Day School, I'm sad to announce that I will be leaving at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. I started Stitch for a Cause in 2002 with a small handful of parent and staff volunteers and an excited group of student knitters. It has grown over the years into an important part of our school community and my life.

I do not know if Stitch for a Cause will continue at KCD but certainly hope my students continue to find ways to impact the community through their handwork. I will be moving on to a new school in Boston, Massachusetts in the fall and am excited about perhaps restarting the group there.

In the meanwhile, I want to thank everyone that has helped us and contributed to the causes we support. We are always amazed by the generosity out there and the time and talent of those making warm things for those in need. Please do not send any materials or finished items to KCD any longer, but I encourage you to seek out those places in need in your local communities. Shelters, hospitals, churches, and many other agencies and organizations would value such contributions.

Again, thank you for the many, many years of support for Stitch for a Cause.
