Pins and Needles Circle
Congregation Darchei Noam 864 Sheppard Ave W., North York, Ontario, CanadaPins and Needles is reaching out to let you know that we are always very happy to welcome new members to our group. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month in the shul library from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., and on Zoom on the third Tuesday of the month. We knit, crochet, and socialize. We would love to have other crafters join us to show what they’re working on and to share tips and stories. We also want to let you know that we are currently in need of yarn donations. Especially helpful are donations of blanket-weight yarn and multiple balls of the same weight or colour. If you’re doing some spring cleaning and have yarn you’re no longer using, we’d be grateful if you’d consider donating it to us. Please contact nancy@kosiner.com if you have any questions.
