Throughout 2025
February 15, 11:00am -1:00pm - Volunteer Knit Time
(Continues the 3rd Saturday of each month, same time)
We’re excited to share we’ve been invited to partner with the Oregon State Hospital in celebrating the 50th anniversary of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest!
If you’re familiar with it, you know Jack Nicholson wore a knit beanie for most of the movie. Wild Knits has been asked to donate handknit hats throughout the year, with proceeds benefiting the Oregon State Hospital Museum, as well as a nonprofit mental health charity (yet to be determined).
Su Fennern of the Salem Knitting Guild has adapted a 1941 Red Cross pattern found here Watch Cap Pattern
We’re hoping to get future yarn donations, but for now stash is great. The only requirements are that the same pattern and worsted weight yarn must be used (unless you get gauge on a different weight). Color is your choice. Finished hats can be dropped off at Wild Knits. We still have a few details to fine-tune, but you’re welcome to start knitting and join us the 3rd Saturday of each month!
