December Membership Meeting 12/3/2024 – Anna Hrachovec – Let’s knit tiny snowmen!
Tiny snowmen are a quick, seamless project with endless potential for holiday fun and mischief! Anna Hrachovec of Mochimochi Land will go over pattern highlights and her personal tiny knitting tips to start you on making these addictive little friends. Bring white yarn and your preferred circular knitting needles sized for a tight gauge. (Demo will be with double-pointed needles.)
