Knitting East Bay

Knitting East Bay

Knitting East Bay
First & Second Fridays, 10 AM-noon
Ed Roberts Campus/ADA Cafe
3075 Adeline, Berkeley

Come sit and knit in the East Bay! LightHouse knitters are taking up residence in the warm and friendly ADA Cafe in the Ed Roberts Campus conveniently located above Ashby BART station. 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. For more info, needle Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.
