What should I bring? Please bring your own needles/crochet hooks. If you are not already working on a warm winter item and are looking for a great project or just starting out, please bring #8 or #10 knitting needles (circular or straight) or a size H crochet hook. Don't forget the patterns you’re working on or want to start.

What do you supply? We provide lots of beautiful yarn, several patterns including hat patterns using #17 needles or a size N crochet hook, and experienced knitters and crocheters to teach anyone who would like to learn. If you can’t join us in person, join us in spirit by knitting or crocheting hats, scarves, gloves and mittens, socks or slippers, and other items to keep people warm during the cold winter months.
