Knitting, crochet, embroidery, hand sewing, mending, cross stitch, weaving, and other portable crafts.
We’ll provide: hot tea and a comfy space to settle in.
You bring: your project and any tools or supplies you’ll need.
Need a little help? We’ve got you. We can troubleshoot together, and when all else fails, we can always consult with Professor YouTube.Optional craft kit available: Beginner Tatreez Cross Stitch Kits available for purchase at cost. (Approx $14)
If you are interested in a kit, please leave a note when you register.
Space is limited to 25 participants.
The vibe

• Low or natural-fragrance only, please. Thanks for keeping the space comfy for sensitive noses.
• We’ll have soft background music playing (lofi, light jazz, and other cozy sounds).
• The clinic will be closed during the event, so this is crafty needlework only. No acupuncture is happening, just cozy making.
• To keep the vibe cozy and relaxed so everyone can craft and chat, we kindly ask that young kiddos stay home this time. Parent(s) with young ones - interested in a community event too? Send us a note and if there is enough interest, we will figure something out.

Parking and accessibility

• Plenty of street parking on a Sunday
• Wheelchair accessible: 2nd floor with elevator access

Come as you are, bring something you’re excited about, and leave a little more restored than when you arrived.
