Calling All Knitters

Listed above are scarves, hats, mitts and socks.

If you are interested in knitting scarves to contribute to this list contact Valerie in the Parish office.  No experience is necessary.  We can teach you how to straight knit a simple, warm scarf for someone who will desperately need it in the cold winter months.

We meet Tuesdays at 7PM in the church.
