Knit-y Gritty Knitters has been making hats, shawls and teddy bears for many years. Last month they added a new item to their repertoire: an arm warmer for people undergoing dialysis treatment.
The craft team meets once a month in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. They usually donate their knitting work to the Minnesota Visiting Nurses Association, but in July, the new member Dorothy Gmyrek suggested that they start knitting arm warmers for people undergoing dialysis. Dialysis is a way to treat patients with renal failure. It can remove toxins and excess water from the blood. Gmyrek's sister is undergoing dialysis, and she said that this type of treatment can make people feel extremely cold.
Gmyrek's arm warming pattern covers the hands and forearms, and the arm part used during the treatment is open. Weavers use colored yarn to make arm warmers, and some have been distributed to facilities in the area. "You can't knit everything and put it away," Knit-y Gritty Knitters member Judie Mather told The Star Tribune. "You have to put it somewhere...If there is a need, we said,'Let's do it.'"
Arm warmers are very popular with patients, who often need to receive treatment multiple times a week, once for several hours. Carly Hordes, the development manager of the Minnesota branch of the National Kidney Foundation, told the Interstellar Tribune that she believes that “any volunteer who spends precious time and resources crafting items that provide comfort to these patients is a special person. ."
