Those with no loom knitting experience along with experienced loom knitters are invited to gather for an easy-to-learn hat knitting class and connect with others from St. Andrew.
Beginner knitters will be provided the loom, tools, yarn, and instructions to knit a hat that will be donated to charity. Beginners will complete the brim of a hat, and will knit the balance of the hat on their own at home. At the next gathering you will remove the hat from the loom, cinch it closed, make and attach a pompom.
Advanced knitters may bring their own loom and yarn or use those available in class. Advanced knitters may have the opportunity to learn a new stitch or pattern.
All knitters will enjoy sharing tips, tricks, and challenges of loom knitting.

We discuss different cultures, race, equity, and healing through the use of readings, videos and other media as we rally around the cause to create a more just world for all. With the help of Pastor Kelly Chatman, we are partnering with Zion Baptist Church and Zion’s Pastor, Brian Herron. Pastor Kelly Chatman has been instrumental in helping St. Andrew and A More Just World. These partnerships help churches like St. Andrew create and implement plans of understanding and action, furthering racial justice and healing.
