Sew Others May Be Warm

This knitting and crocheting charity meets every Thursday from 1-2:30 at the Palmer branch of the Easton Area Public Library. Yarn will be provided, but you must bring either your own knitting needles or crochet hook.

Some of the group’s donations have included baby and preemie hats for Easton Hospital, adult wool hats for Safe Harbor, and blue scarves for children of abuse. The ladies have also knitted bereavement blankets to be donated to area hospitals, made for the mothers of babies who are taken off life support.

All ages are welcome to join!!!!!
