Calling all knitting and crochet enthusiasts! Join us at MakeHaven for our monthly gathering, meticulously orchestrated by Denise, one of our esteemed textile facilitators.

 

This recurring event, dedicated to the joys of knitting and crochet, offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with fellow crafters in a setting that's both warm and welcoming. Scheduled for the 4th Sunday of every month from 12pm to 3pm, this meetup is a haven for those looking to dive into their projects, exchange ideas, and foster a vibrant, creative community.

What to Expect:
- Community Building: Led by Denise, our meetups are designed to cultivate a nurturing environment for knitting and crochet enthusiasts at all levels of expertise. It’s the perfect venue to connect with others who share your passion and to be part of an inclusive, creative community.
- Dedicated Project Time: Bring along your knitting needles, crochet hooks, and work-in-progress projects. Whether you’re looking to make headway on your current piece, eager to start something new, or hoping to learn a novel stitch or technique, you’ll find plenty of opportunities here.
- Brainstorming and Conversation: This is your chance to participate in engaging conversations, exchange tips and tricks, and brainstorm on future projects. If inspiration, advice, or just a friendly chat about your favorite pastime is what you seek, you’ll find an open and supportive space here.

What to Bring:
- Your Projects and Materials: Don’t forget to bring your knitting, crocheting, or needlework projects along with your yarns, needles, and hooks.
- Resources to Share: Got any helpful guides, patterns, or insights? Bring them along to share with the group! Our community thrives on the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Our Goal:
With Denise at the helm, our aim is to provide a recurring platform for knitters and crocheters to come together, share their love for the craft, work on their projects, and contribute to a flourishing community. Whether you’re looking to meet like-minded individuals, find inspiration, or simply enjoy a few hours of crafting in great company, you won’t want to miss out.

Mark your calendars for the 4th Sunday of every month, and join us from 12pm to 3pm for an afternoon of knitting, crocheting, and community building at MakeHaven. Let’s come together to weave a rich tapestry of creativity and camaraderie, one yarn at a time. We look forward to seeing you there!"
