Come and join us! Joining a crochet club is a wonderful way to engage in a fulfilling hobby, connect with like-minded individuals, and potentially make a positive impact in your community. Whether you're interested in crocheting for personal use or for charity, a club can offer you the opportunity to learn new techniques, share your skills with others, and contribute to meaningful causes. We use the traditional style of crocheting for making scarves and we use a loom for making beanies. Most of our beautiful items are donated to community members who are in need of warm clothing during the winter. Happy Stitching!
