Join Us October 6!
Do you like to knit or crochet? Grow a shawl at home, or at church with us now and then. We meet once a month Sundays after the second service.
You can keep your hands busy and wrap someone in friendship. Experienced yarn workers can help a new knitter with acrylic yarn, needles, and support to think through a project. Our group makes lap robes, shawls or blankets for adults or children who might need something comforting at times. We can tell you the ideal sizes to make.
These are portable hobbies, from room to room, on a trip, outside in the sun, or at a friend’s house. If you can knit you can make a rectangle to keep a baby warm in a car or a stroller or crib. If you can purl you can make seed stitch or stripes or lace patterns. You can use these skills while you listen to music or a talk or book, or while you chat or drink coffee with friends anywhere.
Gifts of acrylic yarn are also welcome as we work at home or together. Join us or contribute your pieces to the church. Ask for the sizes we hope to receive, and when you finish an item, make sure it is washed through a regular machine cycle so that it will not change once it is given by the church pastoral care team member.
Our first meeting of this church year will be after the second service on October 6th, in the Leenhouts Common Room. If you have questions, come and ask them at that time. We hope you will sit with us and see what we do.
