Write a commentOn Saturday, June 6th, join us in knitting Soap Sacks from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm in the Oswego Public Library's community room.
Beginner experience with knitting or crochet is necessary. Please bring a set of size US # 8 (5.0 mm) knitting needles – straight, circular, or double-pointed – a ball of cotton yarn, worsted weight similar to Lily's Sugar and Cream, and a tapestry or yarn needle.
Directions will be provided for different methods of casting on and for constructing the bags. One 2-ounce ball of yarn will make two soap sacks with a little left over. You will go home with printed instructions.
Soap Sacks are small bags that hold a bar of soap that can also be used as a washcloth. These soap sacks are also suitable for gifting to Human Concerns for distribution to our neighbors. For more details, please see soapsacks.com.
