The Charity Knitting Group is back to knitting every week: Thurs morning from 10am to noon. I'm sorry for the confusion but, as we all know, that's what happens when life gets a tad too busy. We have enough wonderful ladies to insure someone will always be there.
We took a tour of Emmaus House in Haverhill and we are committed to helping them in every way we can. They are an amazing organization. What we are most impressed about is they are "solutions based." That means they help each person or family to get to a place where they can support themselves. Families, singles, elderly.... Men, women, kids of all ages. They need hats, mittens, scarves, lap afghans, quilts, sweaters, vests. ANYTHING! Babies, toddlers, youth, boys, girls... The elderly would love a lap afghan to keep the chill off. Whatever you make, they will be able to use it.
Please join us to knit or, if you can't, please drop your items off at the counter in the shop and we will make sure they get there. Please leave your name and email address so we can send you a big THANK YOU!!

Change of Schedule for Charity Group
The Charity Knitting Group is changing how often we meet. Instead of every week, we are now meeting the first and third Thursday of each month. Same time: 10am - Noon. Most of us go to lunch afterwards at Uno's to enjoy the all-you-can-eat Soup & Salad for $9 including tip. Come join us!
If you are unable to attend the knitting (or crocheting!) session, please leave your items at the front desk and we will make sure they get to the charity. If you have a preferred charity include a note and I will make sure they get there. If not, we will select the charity. Please leave your name and contact information so we know who was so generous!
We have many free patterns. You do not have to use our patterns but you are welcome to them! The only exception is the military: they have strict requirements for the helmet liners and you will need the pattern. They are not hard to make; they just have specific requirements.
Please join us!
