Next meeting- Wednesday, March 9th from 10:00-11:45am. Meets the
second Wednesday of the month. This is a group with mixed levels. Come join us in knitting or crocheting together, learning ideas off each other and just enjoying the camaraderie! Please email me at
sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR call (860)434-4127 to sign up. This group decided at their last meeting to
start a give away table where group members can bring yarn that they no longer want or half-finished
projects that they do not want to finish. In addition, I will be putting out beautiful yarn that has been
donated to the center.
