The Hopewell Library joins area nonprofit knitting and crocheting group, From the Heart, to teach knitting and crocheting, and to provide blankets, chemo caps, and other items to area hospitals, nursing homes, and veterans’ homes. Everything produced during the knitting/crocheting sessions will be donated to these organizations so they may make them available for their patients and residents.

Yarn and needles are provided free of charge for those who need them but donations of yarn and needles are welcome.

All ages and levels of experience are invited to participate. Whether you have never stitched before or are a pro, we encourage you to join us!

February 4 & 18 6pm to 8pm
February 10 & 24 10am to 12pm
@ the Hopewell Library Cafe
