🚦On 4-28-23 start sending your packages to our new Wisconsin address.


Why we moved?
For those who missed the last couple of emails, the condo I rent, our headquarters for the last 12 years, went up for sale. Embracing change and looking forward, I am moving to Ashland, Wisconsin, where I will be closer to family and Knots of Love can spread out! Wisconsin is also far more affordable and centrally located! 😍

What will change? Only our shipping address.
Other than that, nothing will change.
Same great charity, different location.

What can you expect? There will be a short pause in shipping operations while we transition; everything else will remain the same.

🗓️ Please mark these two important dates in your calendar:
On 3-22-23🚦Stop sending your packages to our California address. Please pause shipping to our California address. Keep making your loving creations and hold onto them until we arrive in Wisconsin.
On 4-28-23🚦Start sending your packages to our new Wisconsin address. The address and submission form will be updated on the website at this time.

🏅 For those of you who are curious about the OC Fair. We will still have entries. Find out more information here.

❤️ We love and appreciate your commitment to Knots of Love and patience in this transition.
We will be up and running in Wisconsin in no time and shipping our heart & warming creations again before you know it!
As always, my inbox is open for questions. Please know that I will do my best to make this transition as seamless as possible. The board and I are here for all of you; donors, makers, doctors, nurses, and of course, our recipients.

Much love and many blessings,
Christine M. Fabiani, Founder
and the Board of Directors

Our Process

You put your heart into knit or crochet creations using your own pattern or choose from our wide variety of free hat / chemo cap patterns and free NICU blanket patterns.

Then send us your lovingly handmade creations by using the steps outlined below.

Once your creations arrive at Knots of Love, your creations are carefully checked in, inspected, sorted, tagged, placed in pretty bags decorated with a red bow (or with a flag for veterans) boxed, labeled, and shipped to the
580+ locations across the USA that we serve (at zero cost to those in need who receive the beanies or blankets!).

Lastly -- we will reach out to tell you exactly where each one of your hats and/or blankets were sent and you will know that your work will be out in the world, spreading love and making a difference!
