We’re doing it again, folks! Island_Grandpa and I signed up again to do 12-hour Knit-for-Food Knit-a-Thon 2025!

The Knit-a-Thon is a twelve-hour knitting (or otherwise crafting) sesh to raise awareness for people facing food insecurity. One of the organizations supported is World Central Kitchen, which we have partnered with in the past for CGRH events. We have a brand-new team this year, which we have affectionately called Scribe & Bard!

Last year was so much fun and, surprisingly, super doable despite feeling SO tired afterward. We raised $100 for charity – and this year, we’re hoping to do $150. We will have a set of incentives you will be able to choose from — be on the lookout for that!

And as ever, we are building in lots of breaks, chill playlists, games to pass the time, and more. We will likely resurrect our shared Stardew Valley farm! Plus, folks are welcome to join us on our crafty adventures — grab your closest work-in-progress (WIP) and tell us what you’re working on! Gramma and Grandpa are ready to gab.

Island Grandpa will be working on a new cuddle puddle shawl, a knitted harvest cardigan, and maybe some spinning or another set of knitted mittens. They showed off drop spinning last year and it was really neat (I don’t need a new hobby I don’t need a new hobby I don’t need–)

Find some cool tools for spinning here:

• Drop spindles
• Electric spinning wheel

And I will again be working on this cardigan:

Easy Crochet Cardigan – The Harvest Cardigan

I will be doing this with my own sort of flair, and in red/white/gray. I’m excited for you all to see it! I haven’t touched it since we did this last year, so we shall see how far I get this time. I’ll also think about working on a blanket or two. (Everyone is getting a blanket for Christmas this year . . . which is another entire blog post.)

We’re going to see how far we get! It’s for a good cause, and it’s a great excuse to hang out with friends and dedicate some real time to crafty endeavors. It’s going to be so chill. The MOST chill time. In fact, the Midnight Amendments are going to be out in full force:

Come join us!
