10:00 am: Knitting

–
Oct 31

Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications.

Nov 14

Hats Off to Loom Knitting
Thursday, November 14 & 21, 10 a.m. - Noon
Cold weather is finally descending in California! Have you ever wanted to knit that newborn baby in your life a cute and cuddly hat? Or, do you find yourself wishing that you could whip up a nifty warm cap for your cold head? Wish no more and come join the LightHouse yarn crafters for some loopy loom fun. This class will be taught over two separate sessions. In the first session, you will learn how to cast on and get your hat started using the e-wrap stitch, and about optional embellishments like adding a brim or a pom-pom. In the second session, you will learn how to bind off and finish your hat. Skill level: This class is geared to anyone who would like to spend a few hours learning how to loom knit a hat of any size from any type of loom. You do not need any particular skill except the willingness to learn, be patient and have fun!

Supplies needed:
A loom with 24, 36, or 41 pegs. You choose how adventurous to be
A looming tool (usually included with a loom)
A tapestry needle
One skein of yarn of your choosing (preferably 4 ply or thicker; chunky yarn is really great for absolute beginners)
Bringing your own supplies is strongly recommended; we will have a limited supply of materials to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis.

RSVP to Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.

Audio description is a vital component to enjoying movies alongside our friends, family, and community members. Information often important to a story is frequently conveyed in a visual manner with little or few non-visual cues—gestures, facial expressions, signs and printed material—that can make it difficult to keep up with the twists and turns that make cinema exciting. Audio description layers description onto the soundtrack that describes visual cues used to establish place, create mood, and foreshadow events. Most major movie theaters offer this service upon request, complimentary with the price of admission, and provided via a headset. We all know that movies can be expensive these days, and the headsets are sometimes cumbersome. Did you know that the SFPL offers an audio described movie on the fourth Friday each month, absolutely free of charge, and the audio description is open—no headsets to mess with and the liberating feeling that access is the norm and the default—everyone gets to experience what audio description does for blind & low vision movie goers.
We’ll meet at LightHouse Headquarters at 1155 Market St. in the street-level lobby at noon, and for the price of lunch at one of the many nearby eateries, we’ll grab a bite to eat, then head over to the theater to enjoy a free open audio described movie that starts at 2. Contact Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316 so we know you’re coming and don’t leave you behind. You can learn more about October’s open audio described movie at: https://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=1035956701.
