Monday, April 1st 10:30-12:30 Come learn some crochet basics and make a granny square or two! It’s great way to use up odd bits of yarn. Since squares are worked individually and can be combined to make almost anything, it’s a great portable project for waiting rooms or long trips.
Materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own hook and yarn if you prefer! Adults and teens welcome.
Sign up at the front desk or by calling 518-523-3200.
