I came across a Facebook post shared by a friend that SCS is looking for volunteers in knitting hats for cancer patients at hospitals and other organizations. Materials and training will be provided!! So you do not have to buy the materials. But if you wish, the materials are easily available at the local crafting stores.
Though I am not an experienced knitter, I still able to handle basic stitches. Anyway since there are trainer and experienced knitters who will be able to guide on the pattern, anyone without zero knowledge on knitting can also volunteer too.
If you wish to volunteer, check out SCS at their Facebook Page SG Cancer Society or you may wish to email Chloe Email Chloe Ng for more details.
My sis and mom came along for the lesson on 12 April 2014. However, my mom decided that she will not be volunteering so she was there to accompany her 2 daughters. :)
After the lesson, we decided to head over to Spotlight to get more yarns as we may not be available to join the next lesson and we do not wish to run out of yarns halfway through our knits.
Each volunteers are required to complete at least 5 pieces of hats by end of December 2014 and there are at least 10 design of hats that will be shared or taught in this programme.
The pattern of the hat will starts from the basic stitches and slowly progressing to more complicated patterns.
Below are the hats that I have completed. My progress is slow but I will try to speed up and complete more hats 😉
1st Hat - Christian Hat
Completed on 16 May 2014
2nd Hat - Mock Cable Hat
Completed on 12 June 2014
3rd Hat - Terzetto Hat
Completed on 21 June 2014
To this date, I have yet to go for the next lesson as I hope to complete more hats before attending the next lesson. ;)
