Update from Sarah Sales:
Kyle has been found and is safe. Thank you all for your support and prayers! We have a long road ahead so keep us in your prayers.
Please share/print/post.
Sarah Sales is a dear part of our fiber community and desperately needs our help finding her son Kyle.
We are looking forward to warming up our community here in Wichita!
We are so blessed to have warm homes, warm clothes, vehicles, and each other.
We are also blessed with a talent & hobby that can benefit others.
It is our desire to start a program for giving locals in need handmade items to keep them warm. Hats are a good place to start.
We will announce at the December guild meeting a date in January that we will set out around the Wichita area and deliver our handmade hats to those in need.
Child through the largest adult hats are needed.
Made using washable yarns.
Below are some wonderful sites with free patterns available. They don’t need to be fancy, but they do need to be well made.
Knitting for Charity | AllFreeKnitting.com
Free Hats on Ravelry – all sizes
We would also encourage you to familiarize yourself with the wonderful efforts our Wichita community puts forth to the underprivileged.
Many, many families are on the verge of being homeless and the services provided to keep them safe and sheltered need to be supported, taken note of, and shared with those in need as well as those able to support in any way possible; financially, with time, or with any items you are able to donate.

Growth and Education for Knitters

For all those that are interested, a new TKGA affiliated guild has started in Wichita.
It is NEW, the Central Kansas Knitter’s Guild that meets in Newton will continue meeting in Newton monthly and the two are not the same.
The Wichita Knitters’ Guild plans to collaborate (and has already started doing so) with the CKKG to bring more knitters together in their educational and social programs.
Please, sign up for the Wichita Knitters’ Guild email list, it is TOTALLY SEPARATE from my Firebrunette Knits email list.
The link to the Contact Information Form is on the website listed above, as well as on the Facebook page.
I think it’s going to be a great addition to our Kansas knitting community!
Please visit the website for more information on dues, meeting times & location.
Happy Fiber Crafting!!
