Hi Everyone! Lia here 😊
I’d like to apologize for not staying on top of this.
I would like to start getting together again, and begin donating goods. If you have a particular charity you’d like to help out, we can start a collection as soon as we get together again.
Dee, from Crafty Dee’s Canvas, has offered to hold regular classes and get togethers at her store in Highland Falls. I urge you to go to her page or sign up to find out about knitting, crocheting, and looming events, as well as other events she holds or sponsors.
Hope to see you all soon!

Check out Lionbrand’s sale, but also check Joann’s yarns. I’ve found these sales are great, but Joann’s sometimes offers even better prices…

🧶 📣 Great news! 📣 🧶
We have received donations and will hand off our creations very soon to those who need them most.
I want to encourage you all to continue crafting from your homes until we can get together again because the NEED is great. The two organizations I’ll be contacting are The Newburgh Ministry
https://www.newburghministry.org, and TOMVO
https://thingsofmyveryown.org
TOMVO items should be gathered before mid February.
Quick note on what they need: The Newburgh Ministry needs mostly scarves and adult hats (most for men), so color are neutral and minus pompoms.
TOMVO works with CPS and Children’s Services to give new clothing to children who are removed from families or to women who are fleeing domestic abuse. They need hats, scarves, mittens, blankets for newborns up to teens and hats, scarves, gloves and ANY thing a woman might need if she left with the clothes on her back and her children in her arms.
So keep the donations coming! Message us for where you can drop them off. In addition, we may be able to collect other items they need, like toiletries, clothing, and toys…

Hi everyone! Sadly, the Lion Brand Outlet in Carlstaadt, NJ will be permanently closing its doors. It could be any day now (haven’t seen the closing date yet).
Everything is 50% off! I hear it’s clearing out fast, so hurry if interested. And yes, as far as I know, you will be able to continue shopping online ☺️
