Crochet With a Purpose

SCARVES

 Scarves can be made in many colors and yarn weight. The yarn weight will determine how thick/warm the scarf is.  ​ Choose if you would like one of the Infinity styles (usually for the gals) or the Traditional style (perfect for anyone) Customize the width, length and color of your scarf then email the details.

BLANKETS

 Choose your favorite color, something that matches your decor, your school colors and my favorite...creating something snuggly for a new little addition. Blankets come in all sizes. I make my baby blankets nice and big to be used for a lifetime and always include a surprize hat or booties [ shhhh sometimes both ;) ].  The couch shawl blanket is fashioned like a large shawl (triangle shaped) perfect for curling up on the couch with a good book. As with the scarves, all blankets are on a first come first serve basis and all sizes are subject to change based on design. Please email for a custom quote based on your special blanket requests.  Contact me with the details of what you are looking for and we will work together to come up with something special :) 

OTHER STUFF

The sky is the limit! See something you like, just ask me about it. Send me a link or a picture and I will try to track it down. This winter it was Ear Wraps, last year it was bookmarks. If I check it out and think I can make it, I will. (prices based on yarn and work required to make the item)

Have fun exploring yarns and colors at my favorite local 

Many of you may remember me from my adventures on Broadway in "Annie". I began as the orphan Kate in the original cast and then took over for one of my best friends, Andrea McArdle. You may also remember that a few years after leaving the show, at 16 years old,  I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). I spent 6 weeks at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSKCC), on their Pediatric floor. Although I was battling a very serious, life threatening illness, I have such fond memories of making cookies in the playroom and sneaking downstairs to the cafeteria for sesame chicken at all hours with Andrea when she would come hang out after the cabaret show she was doing. 

It is amazing what comes out of facing difficult challenges. While recovering from surgery recently, I was unable to do much other than just sit and relax, no driving, no exerting myself. I found myself crocheting and creating all different kinds of scarves, blankets and whatever my friends came up with. I had the idea to market them as a way to give back to the one place that is dear to my heart, MSKCC, the place that made it possible for me to grow up and raise 2 amazing children of my own. The more I crochet the more I create! You never know what will show up on the site. 

I personally hand make each item so if you have an idea for a new item, let me know! . The best and most rewarding part of this is that 10% of each item purchased will be donated to pediatric cancer research. The Infinity scarf can be worn as a long infinity scarf, wrapped around to create a warm snugly scarf close to your neck, wrap it twice and pull one half over your head for those snowy/rainy days. The Traditional scarf is great for guys and gals and can be tailored to the length of your choice. I use a variety of yarns and stitches so you'll never be at a loss for choices. So come join me on an amazing journey to give a little something back to the kids!
