Who we are…..
A wonderful group of ladies who share an interest in and love for knitting and crocheting.
Our Story…..
Our group came together as a result of the parish's small group initiative, so we have been meeting for a little over a year. We are an eclectic group of experienced and (mostly) inexperienced knitters and crocheters. Parishioner Regina Roach is our patient leader and teacher. We started out learning the basics, progressing from dishcloths to baby hats. Under Regina's guidance we undertook a service project, “Click Purple for Babies”, an awareness campaign about Shaken Baby Syndrome, in which we knitted/crocheted (with a lot of help from other parish and community friends) more than 350 purple baby hats to be distributed during the month of November to Mercy Medical and Aultman Hospitals.
We have now progressed to individual projects, making gloves, socks, sweaters, and scarves. But it is not just about the knitting and crocheting. It's about the fun and friendship that we share at our meetings and social events and the common bond of our Catholic faith.
When we meet…..
Two times a month on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. (several members serve as hostesses on a rotating basis)
Our invitation…..
The group is open to all women of the parish. Don't know how to knit? Not a problem! Most of us didn't when we started! Come and learn!
