Event Details

Join Theresa Olsen for our monthly Loom Knitting Club!  

Open to students in 5th - 8th grade, the knitting club will focus mainly on learning to loom knit. Students will have the opportunity to make hats, scarves, or other creations for themselves or others. Boys and girls of any skill level are welcome to learn or improve their knitting skills.

Loom Knitting Club is a non-structured activity.  Students are welcome to drop in any time between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm.  They may stay for the entire time or pop in for a quick visit.  All materials are provided.
