Arm Knitting Craft Party!

Our third Arm Knitting Craft Party was yesterday and just in time for more winter weather! Liz Matheny taught a wonderful group of ladies how to make their own infinity scarf by arm knitting!

The first step of casting on is always the hardest to get at first....but it doesn't take too long until everyone was well on their way to knitting their scarf!

 
Here are the final results!  Everyone did a great job and I heard everyone say that they were going to continue making scarves with their new skill!

Arm Knitting Craft Party

 

Liz Matheny taught a wonderful class yesterday- Arm Knitting!  This class was a hit because people could learn to knit a scarf without any experience knitting or crocheting using their arms as the knitting needles!

 

Getting the hang of it was tough at first but once people got their stitches casted on, they were quickly on their way!  Liz was very patient with us "newbies"!

 

Here are many of the finished scarves!  Some of the students have gone on to make several more scarves already!

Craft Party Open House Fundraiser!

We held our annual Craft Party Open House last night!  This year it benefitted Lick MS!  It was so much fun- we had a wonderful spread of refreshments and three mini crafts!

Margaret Hluch taught people how to make cute needle felted bird ornaments or pins.  People had fun picking out their colors and giving their birds personality!

Courtney Prahl made a really easy fun ornament project!  People loved this craft and many had some great ideas on how to personalize them as easy holiday gifts!

Stacie Spencer and Rene' Land worked together with people to make unique coasters!  This was really fun with all of the stamps that they brought to choose from.

Even I found time to make a few of the crafts!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the event.  And a big thank you to our teachers!  We are happy to have raised $450 for our charity!
