KALs (knit-a-longs)...
Best Friend Dolls KAL - 10 am - Noon on Saturdays, April 19, 26 & May 3 (FREE)
These cute little dolls are so fun to make. Come join others as we work alongside each other while making them. You will need to bring a size 6-16" circular needle, size 6 double-pointed needles, tapestry needle, DMC thread for facial features & any worsted weight yarn. Kits will be available for $5 which includes items you might not have on hand...yarn for body parts & hair, beads for the feet and fiberfill for the stuffing.
Lace KAL - 6-8 pm on Thursdays starting May 29 (FREE)
Come join this KAL led by Kristina starting at the end of May and finishing up by the end of August. We will knit together a lace shawl from Fiber Trends called "Flower Basket". Participants in the KAL will determine how often the group will meet on Thursday evenings. You can choose lace weight, fingering weight or DK weight for your shawl. You will also need needles to get the right gauge and stitch markers. Help in selecting your yarn will be given at the 1st KAL.
Spring Charity Project...
For our Spring Charity Project, I would like us to knit or crochet chemo caps for the Caris Hospice. You can choose any soft washable yarn and any pattern that you would like. Don't forget to make some caps in more manly colors for the guys who are dealing with cancer. There are some patterns at these websites: www.chemocaps.com or www.headhuggers.org.
As always, if you'd rather knit or crochet blankets for Project Linus, or make squares for Warm Up America, then please do so. The important thing is that we're all working together to help out our community.
Thank you to those who donated items for one of our charity projects this month: Claire, Barbara, Sharon, Drama, Carol & Lynda.
The Yarn Haven Spinning Group...
On the 2nd Saturday of each month...at closing time (from 2-4 pm)...spinners are welcome to come hang out and spin away for a couple of hours. So bring your wheel or your spindle and come join us. If you are interested in learning more about spinning, please feel free to come and ask questions of the "experts". Several folks have been spinning for a long time...others are newbies and just getting started. Feel free to bring a snack to share.
Sit 'N Stitch...
Don't forget that Wednesday afternoons from 1-4 pm is our Sit 'N Stitch time. Come join us as we knit and crochet on our current projects. You'll meet some new friends as we "learn, share and be creative" together.
