10:00 am: Knitting10:00 am: Knitting – 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. For more info, needle Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316. 10:00 am: Loom Knit A Scarf Now For Warm, Fuzzy Gifts Later10:00 am: Loom Knit A Scarf Now For Warm, Fuzzy Gifts Later – Loom Knit a Scarf Now for Warm, Fuzzy Gifts Later Winter has descended and who doesn't need a warm scarf to wrap around to keep snuggly and warm from the wintery San Francisco fog?
