CANCELLED! CO-OP Craft Club

Due to the COVID-19 Crisis we are required to cancel this event in order to maintain social distancing and flatten the curve! Keep on knitting and stay safe!

Calling all knitters, crocheters, and cross stitchers! Bring a project to work on and any items you’re interested in donating to other crafters.

Crafting newbies, if you are interested in learning how to knit, go to Michaels or Joannes and pick up a ball of dishcloth cotton yarn (like Lilly and Cream) and knitting needles in size 7 or 8. You can learn how to cast on and garter stitch a dish cloth to start learning the knit stitch at the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you soon! Let us know if you're planning to come so we know how much space to save. All skill levels welcome!
