We are a group of knitters and crocheters from around Antioch/ Brentwood CA, who meet at Barnes & Nobles on Tuesday nights from around seven until we decide to leave. The only agenda is to knit or crochet, have a night out, and to have fun. We have had spouses attend, along with friends and an occasional child or two. All are welcome. We have new knitters who would like help with learning, along with journey level knitters. We all help each other and learn new things. This is a new group so come and help us get organized!
We just finished knitting wonderful alpaca scarves to be auctioned off at a charity golf event to raise money for scholerships for local high school seniors. The yarn was donated by Alpaca Direct.
We have been knitting helmet liners for the military to help protect them from the weather. We know how cold it is in the desert in the winter at night in Irac, and Afghanistan is colder. We plan to sent as many as our group can make.
We earned money for these projects by wrapping gifts at Barens & Nobles Bookstore. This Christmas we made over $850. From these funds we provide yarn and needles for these projects. We try to plan a special outing or event each month. Please come and join the fun.
COME SEE US!
