The Kittens need you to craft for them and their soon-to-be new home – the Ken Hill Kitten Cabin.
Its Fall outside and Crafting for a great cause is Cool! Help us welcome the homeless kittens to their NEW kitten cabin.
What: Calling all beginner crafters to the most experienced to help us create snuggly blankets or snuggles (shaped cat beds) for the kennels, cat toys, and mini towels.
Craft along with us, as we countdown to the Kitten Cabin Grand Opening, and choose from our fun curated collection of knitting and crochet patterns to make for the kittens. Not a crocheter or knitter, no worries! We have easy-sew felt toy patterns and a no-sew blanket pattern we can share too.
Amazing progress has been made and the Kitten Cabin should be completed and we can have our Grand Opening sometime mid-November. There is still time to craft for the Kitten Cabin!
There will be Contests and Crafty Themed Prizes. Your finished items will be on display in the Ken Hill Kitten Cabin during the Grand Opening to welcome the kittens to their new home!
