Saturday 11/10: Knit-a-Long…With A Special Theme: Friendship Dolls

Knit-a-Long (10:30-11:45 am): Knitting guru Judy Castaldi will be on hand to help knitters with projects, troubleshoot, or even teach you how to knit from scratch!  Our beloved Saturday Knitting Club meets once a month on the second Saturday of the month, from October through May from 10:30 to 11:45.  Anyone who enjoys knitting or would like to learn how to knit is welcome to come.  All ages and skill levels are welcome.  Start planning those winter knitting projects!  Future Knit-a-Long Dates are December 8, January 12, February 9, March 9, April 13, and May 11.  

This month, we will have a visitor to our club who will share a possible project with our knitters.  Local knitter Mary-Ann Greene writes:

I’ve been knitting Friendship Dolls for Zambia kids, through Communities Without Borders (CWB), and thought our knitters might be interested in learning more. The mission of CWB is to educate orphans and other vulnerable children in Africa in order to nourish hope for a better future for them, society, and the world.  Severaltimes a year, CWB volunteers bring clothing, books, sports equipment, and these homemade knit dolls to the children:

We’ll learn how to knit these dolls at the November ACL Knit-a-Long this Saturday
