Come knit and crochet with us!
Our From the Heart Southside group is growing and expanding.
Whether you have no experience or lots of it, we would love to have you join us. Knitting supplies are free and everything we make from them is donated to area community organizations that help those in need. We have delivered blankets, hats, and scarves to John Randolph Medical Center, and sent over 50 100% cotton washcloths to help clean-up efforts involving oil-soaked animals in the Gulf. We need lots of baby hats for an early literacy outreach (stay tuned for more details about this exciting opportunity) and a variety of items for residents of a nearby woman’s shelter. If you think this sounds too serious, think again! We gab over our snacks about a variety of books (some about knitting, others not), shopping, cooking, and anything else that comes to mind. We swap patterns and recipes. And there are often giveaways. Each evening group begins with brief announcements and a short demonstration. To learn more about our parent organization, From the Heart,

all day retreat. Your $25 fee includes lunch, a needle felting project, a memory book, and lots more! A variety of beautiful yarn will be available for a small (or large, if you choose) donation. To learn more about
