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:
Baby hats for newborns
Our goal for this year is 2016 hats
Patterns are provided as well as the yarn
Banner Thunderbird Medical Center:

Luke Air Force Base Layette Program:

Membership dues are only $10 a year. 2016 officers are Jan Hover, president, Lee Sharp, treasurer and Bonnie Griffin, secretary. If you’d just like to come and visit or stitch personal items you are welcome, too.
