The countdown is on! There are just a few hours left to sign up for the Project Linus Knit & Crochet Along! After 11 pm MDT, the registration donation will increase to $25, AND you will not be able to designate a recipient chapter for your donation.... the donation will instead go to headquarters. Not that that is a bad thing, but if you want to support your local chapter more, the time is now.
So, what is this all about?
The Project Linus Knit and Crochet Along is a fundraiser for Project Linus chapters. Registration involves making a $20 donation to Project Linus... and you can indicate that the registration donation should go to the Great Falls & Helena, MT Chapter (or any other chapter of your choosing). There are two patterns... one for knitters and another for crocheters. Each pattern is $20 + 3.093% credit card processing fee. You can register for one, or the other, or both!
Registration closes at 12:01am CT on Saturday, October 10, 2026. That is 11:01 PM MDT FRIDAY, October 9.
Then, beginning Saturday morning, October 10, 2026, you will login to the Project Linus website and download the pattern(s) for which you registered.
There is no contest ... no race... with this. You can work at your own pace and have a great time doing so! And, in our Knit and Crochet Along Facebook group, you can share details about your KCA adventures with fellow participants. Also, these blankets are yours to keep or gift or give as you choose... you are not expected to donate them to Project Linus.
It all sounds like fun and a great way to spend time in the cooler autumn/winter weather ... which we are expecting to start over the weekend!
So, join us, won't you? Go to our website https://www.projectlinus.org/knitcrochet/ and click the blue 'Register Now' button. Fill in all the information, and be sure to put the Great Falls & Helena, MT Chapter as your registration donation recipient. Then wait until Saturday morning for the patterns to be posted.
We look forward to seeing your blankets!
