Great news!
We’ve got some “official” drop off locations for finished objects (FOs) for the BSD Project!
Here we go…
Cedar Mill Bible Church Church Office. Important clarification here. The church office is NOT at the actual church building. If you go to the church building, no promises you’ll find anyone there willing to take FOs and get them to the right location. Okay? So go to the Church Office. If you click on that church office hyperlink (it’s underlined back there in that paragraph a couple of times – just click on it and it’ll take you to the Cedar Mill Bible Church “Contact Us” page) you’ll see a map with directions to the church. That map has multiple tabs – click on the one for Church Office.
Maybe easier – here’s a little map, too:
If you know where Home Depot on Murray in Cedar Mill is, you can find it!
The phone number there is 503-646-3156 and the office hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Nice option, right?
For Yarn’s Sake in Beaverton -in Beaverton Town Square (kinda kitty corner from Buffalo Wild Wings) has also graciously offered to be a collection site.
Owner, Anne Lindquist, has also mentioned she’ll soon reinstate the weekly Charity Knitting time. It looks like the time to meet will be Friday’s from 4:30 to 5:30 pm – it’d be great to meet up there and knit together, wouldn’t it?! I’ll let you know for sure if that’s a go, okay?
Dublin Bay Knitting Company in the Pearl District will not only accept completed items, they’ll also give the crafter a 10% Off Discount coupon for a future visit for their effort! How cool is that?
The Knitting Bee has also graciously offered to be a collection point! (Oh my goodness! Did you see they have the Addi Bamboo Clicks in?! Focus, Dina!) You can find The Knitting Bee at:
And the lovely ladies at Twisted have also agreed to be a collection point. (Did you know we’ve got a WHOLE BUNCH of SE Portland knitters and crocheters on board with us? They just make me smile.) Anyway, Twisted has also offered a 10% discount for those who are purchasing materials for the BSD Project at the store! Nice, huh?! Here’s a map to Twisted:
And – of course – if you just can’t make it out to any of these locations – let me know! We’ll arrange to meet up somewhere, okay? 🙂

Hi, I am making a couple of scarves, can I mail them to you?
Could you give me an address?
I saw a post you made on the Lion Brand Yarn Facebook about the charity
finder they have. I usually have a few extra hats & scarves around that need
homes!
Thanks
Hi Tryna! Yes, of course! I’ll email you right away with my address.
Thanks so much for partnering with us! You’re a doll!

Thanks for the update Dina! I might be able to whip up a couple more items and drop them off at For Yarn’s Sake which is pretty close to me.
Thanks so much, Debbie! 🙂
Well, I missed the Thanksgiving 2010 deadline… shall I just get knitting and send things throughout the year? I am in Colorado, but graduated from Aloha High School in 1986 and would love to be part of this… great project!
Kim – it’s okay – you can still be a part! We’ve not quite met our goal of 1,617 items – we’re at 1,272 as of right now – and we’re not going to “close the door” until we hit that number! So – if you want to do this part, we’d love to have you help. Or, if you’d prefer, we’re just kicking off the squares to put together blankets too. Here’s a post that may clarify: https://yarnfest.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/bsd-project-the-phases/
I’ll pop you an email. 🙂
Great to have you on board!
Blessings!

Great locations. I live in downtown Vancouver and Twisted is just a short hop for me. I’ll be dropping off some stuff there in a short while. This is such a great idea and I like to be able to be creative instead of following just one pattern for a charity. Two years ago, I knit 22 sweaters, socks and vests for an orphanage in Russia where the children only had one sweater, one pair of socks, and one set of underwear. My neighbors kicked in over 50 packs of underwear and cotton socks, and together we sent a crate.
Geri – you’re a gem! Thanks so much! Wow – girlfriend! – you’re a knitting rock star! I love your passion and pursuit of blessing others. We’re so thankful to have you partner together with us! Bless your heart!
Hey Dina–
I have a bag of finished items for you. Will you be in Portland any time that you can drop by my work and get them again? I would also love some more yarn.
Thanks!
Jody
Hi Jody!
Yes, I’d love to! I won’t be able to head over there (we’ve got our days absolutely packed the next few days) until next week. Would that work? Maybe Tuesday? In the afternoon?
