Do you love to knit or crochet or would like to learn to knit or crochet? Then come and join the Knimble Kneedles group which meets each Thursday morning from 9:00 a.m. to noon in the Creative Arts Building (Diamondback Room). We are a welcoming group of women (though men can join us, too) who love to get together, share patterns and stitch items for local charities throughout the valley. We also make items to sell in the Gallery and the funds go to local charities throughout the year. Here are a few examples:

Agua Fria Food and Clothing Bank:

Cash donations

Banner Estrella Medical Center:

Our goal for this year is 2016 hats

Patterns are provided as well as the yarn
