Worship together through knitting our own projects and a square to join into an afghan to be donated as we choose. Bring 1 ball of worsted-weight, machine washable yarn, size 9 needles and your own projects (or try some of mine). Bring writing to share which inspires you. No knitting experience necessary. (PT, HG1, HG2)

Knitting can be a powerful way to center ourselves and share our stories. Come to share your experience and/or learn something new. We will make squares for an afghan which will be assembled later to donate as we choose. Crocheters and other hand-work is welcome, but I do not have the expertise to teach these.

We will worship and worship-share for about 20 minutes per day. I will bring books on Knitting and spirituality. Bring anything that inspires your spirituality which you would like to share.

Often we try to find a local yarn shop for an optional afternoon field trip.
