Did you know that Briarcrest High School has a yarn club? Well, we do. The Yarn Club is comprised of approximately 30 students. They meet once a month under the guidance of Mrs. Longworth and are now in their second year of existence.
Up until this point, the group has enjoyed sharing their common interest in knitting, crocheting and needlepoint while working on individual projects; however, they are currently considering a joint project where each person will knit (or crochet) a square, then the squares will be joined together to make one large blanket. The finished product will be donated to charity.
When I met with the group, they explained that knitting, crocheting and needlework serves as a stress reliever as well as a vehicle in which to share their passion with others. Having a club adds a social aspect to an otherwise solitude activity. No experience is needed to join because skilled members will happily teach those who want to learn.
