Knitting Pals by the Bay

We had 3 V.I.P. (Very Important Pal) awards for 2025. All the recipients have been sharing their exceptional talents with us. We appreciate their dedication & support.

Kate Adasiewicz has donated numerous beautiful caps and during the winter season has provided many warm scarves to the St. Anthony's project in San Francisco.

Vinita Ghosh is an incredible knitter and supports us through the Millbrae group. She can look at a cap and make it without a pattern & handles all special requests.

Susan Tauber has been a big support; she not only knits caps, but she also took on the leadership role of the Glen Park Group in S.F. She has recruited knitters and makes sure all caps from the group are delivered to us.

Congratulations & Bravo to all these ladies.

Currently we have provided 54,330 adult and children's caps. This year we added a support clinic, Women's Cancer Resource Center WCRC located in Berkeley and UCSF adult and children hospital in San Francisco.

Now, we end with our breaking news story of the year!

Our website was compromised and had been out of commission for a year. Our webmaster, Avis Freedman, spent many hours trying to get it back up & running to no avail. We called upon one of our knitters, Priscilla Nues and her husband Paul to see if they could provide help. After numerous hours they finally were successful and our website is now working again. We are not going to go into all the details, we are just thankful that Avis, Priscilla and Paul went above and beyond to solve the problems. We extend our thanks, appreciation and gratitude for this tremendous achievement!

The world of technology is changing all the time and with the addition of AI, it's becoming more complicated, even for those with exceptional skills. Avis, who took on the responsibility of creating, designing, and managing the website for 23 years, has decided to retire. We are very thankful for her establishing our website and all the years she has dedicated her expertise and love to this project. We have increased our members through the site. Thank you, Avis, for all your help over these many years.

Priscilla has agreed to take on the responsibility and will be our new administrator for www.knittngpals.org. Already she has updated and refreshed our site.

We are grateful and appreciate all the kindness we have been given over the years from all of you. Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season.
