We have moved!! Our new office and warehouse is located in Fork Union, VA.  This move allows us to spread out and hopefully, be more efficient.  Yeaaaaa!  We will be physically moving everything on April 14 thru 17.  Lots of work cleaning and painting the place, but it will be worth all the effort.

We can still be reached at the usual toll free number of 888-720-2322 or our new office number of 434-742-1180.  We will pass on the new fax number once it is available.

Our new address is:  60 Carysbrook Rd, Fork Union, VA 23055. 

If you send anything to the current address of:  7 Monish Dr, Palmyra, VA 22963–no problem–we will still maintain that address as well.  Once our signs are up and we are settled in, we will take some photos for everyone and be starting some local knitting board classes.  Just email me if you are in this area and will be interested in joining this group.  Pat

Hi Everyone,

All of us here at Knittingboard have been really busy getting things ready to attend the Big CHA Craft and Hobby Show in CA.  It starts on Feb 10 but we will leave VA on Feb 8 to get ready.  We have some new items to debut there at the show.  Once we return on Feb 15, we’ll be ready to share them with everyone here.  So, during this time, we will not be mailing orders or responding to emails.  I hope everyone will jump in and dig around to help everyone else with questions and solutions.  If you live in that corner of the country, we would just love to chat with you at our booth.  It’s numer 2345.  Hope to see some of you there.  Pat and Kim

Winter is approaching and some of our knitting board knitters have really jumped in with their knitted squares.  We have 2 new blankets.  The first one was knit by Laura Carlos of Neptune, NJ.  Some really pretty designs, stitches, and unusual yarns.  Thank you so much, Laura, for your time, caring and thoughtfulness.  Also thank you, Sue Kreitzer, for all your time and dedication of  sewing these blankets together for us.  We will let you all know where these blankets will be sent. 

The center crocheted square was donated by Nancy DeWitt.  The pretty Teal square was knit by Linda Pagel.  3 squares were knit and donated by Laura Carlos and the other squares were knit by Sue Kreitzer.  Thank you all for contributing and sharing in this project.  The squares were sent to Sue Kreitzer who is doing the arrangement and sewing for completing the blankets.  We appreciate all efforts from everyone.  Let’s keep lots of needy folks warm this winter.  Keep them coming and we’ll keep finding unique homes for them.

Sue Kreitzer in Sanger TX has really stepped up and knit 3 complete afghans for our homeless and cold families in North Dakota.  She also did all the sewing of the pieces.  2 of them were knit in squares using many beautiful stitches and detail, and the red, white, and blue one is a one piece design.  Great work shows a lot of caring for less fortunate women and children. Thank you, Sue!                             

We need your help with ‘Sharing our Mission?

If you would like to participate with us, we will be making blankets and baby blankets to donate to an organization in need. We have identified several worthwhile organizations that shelter abused women and children. They are very much in need of warm clothing and blankets especially during the cold winter months. We are taking donations of knitted squares knit with any washable, new yarn. If everyone who reads this, would spare a little bit of time and knit a square, we can create many blankets to give, and that would be awesome!!

square ideas…thanks to Faith (pattern washcloths)

You may use whatever yarn that you would like to ‘use up’, and it can have several different yarns within the knitted square. We will start with squares that are aprox 12″ X 12″. If you would take an hour and clear out some old yarn scraps and knit up a square, we would really appreciate the effort. If anyone has the time to take 12 squares and sew them together, we will send a packet of the knitted pieces to you. We would then mail the finished blankets with recognition of the knitters to the recipients.

Check out our Mission to see our current long term projects.

Our mission involves assisting women’s relief groups with knitting boards and personal instruction. Our goal is to see these individuals grow in self belief that they, too, can create beautiful, useful, warm garments for themselves, their families, and as a means to supplement their family income.

Jail assistance project knitting for preemie newborns at UVA hospital

Our focus on this project has been abused women and their children and babies of low to zero income working as a community or within a shelter. This will be from an organized program.

It is our goal to assist these groups with donated knitting boards, instruction, and support from us at Authentic Knitting Board Co. Individual groups or organizations may apply for this program by contacting Pat Novak at pat@knittingboard.com.
