About Knitters for Obama
A group of 4,000 knitters and crocheters from around the world, Knitters for Obama produce knit hats and other apparel for cancer patients and premature babies and have donated them to hospitals across the country. They have also made more than 1,200 items for veterans in homeless shelters and other veterans' groups.
After the election, Knitters for Obama has stayed together to continue knitting for charitable causes. Their motto, "Wielding Our Pointy Sticks for Change." Many of the FFS have joined the Knitters for Obama and are making things for their designated Service projects too.
