Last holiday season EPL donated multiple blankets to Project Linus which distributes handmade blankets to critically ill children, that were made by from squares created by our patrons. Teens and adults alike came together to learn basic knitting, new techniques, and to put together the blankets! Don't know how to knit? No problem! Beginners and advanced knitters are welcome. EPL's teen librarian Elizabeth Portillo and resident knitting expert Dottie Bicknese are happy to teach you!
Each session will be an opportunity to work on your square, learn to knit, share techniques, ask questions, and begin to put together our blankets. Yarn will be provided at each session, but feel free to bring/use your own as well. We have a few sets of #5 Knitting Needles, but if you have your own please bring those along. If you start a square but don’t have time to finish it, that is still a huge help as long as you drop it off before a session, so we can finish it. You do not need to attend all 3 sessions to participate.
Want to help make our blankets but can’t attend? We welcome donations of knitted squares (7 in by 7 in) ideally knitted with a Number 5 needle, by Friday December 16th. Just drop it off at the Circ Desk!
