Calling all knitters and crocheters. Bring your supplies and spend a couple of hours turning yarn into beautiful autumn leaves.
Our newly formed group, Friends with Yarn, is working on its second yarn installation for the library. This time we’re making garlands of autumn leaves. The more people we have helping us, the more garlands of leaves we can make to decorate the library for fall. You can begin working at home or join us at the library on Sept. 13. We’ve compiled some of our favorite leaf patterns for you, both for knitted leaves and crocheted. Our goal is to have a wide variety of leaves to assemble into garlands. Use any fall colors you like and aim to make leaves with a finished size between 4” and 8” in length, not including stem. Leaves must be completed by Sept. 30. If you have questions about the crochet patterns, or the project in general, email Ellen at membership@modestolibraryfriends.org
See details below under tab EVENT DETAILS.
This “knit-in” will take place in the makerspace on the main floor of the Modesto Library.
- 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
This is our group’s first public work session. We hope you’ll stop by and see what’s going on. There is no commitment to work on any future projects. Just a chance to meet some nice people and work together on a project to benefit the library.
Since you knit or crochet already, you probably have a selection of needles or hooks. Bring them along, as well as other standard supplies such as scissors and tapestry needles. If you have any yarn in fall colors, bring it with you, but we’ll be sure to have some extra to share. We’ll post patterns here as soon as we select them.
No need to RSVP. Hope to see you there.
