\u00a0In recent years, knitting and crocheting have made a comeback and their popularity can be experienced first hand in an unlikely place \u2212 the local library. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Groups meet regularly at locations throughout the county sharing skills, stories and projects. \u00a0Some have even turned the hobby into a way of giving back to the community. \u00a0Several members of one local knitting and crocheting club have made caps, booties and blankets to donate to Tiny Stitches, an organization that provides basic clothing, bedding and other items for newborns of families in need in North Georgia (tinystitches.org). \u00a0They have also made chemo caps for patients who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The ladies who attend these events are passionate about their craft and want to keep it alive by passing it on to the next generation. \u00a0Macey Williams, age 13, attends with her grandmother and is even responsible for teaching her grandmother, Shirley Williams, to knit. \u00a0Shirley said she treasures the time she gets to spend with her granddaughter and they often make an entire day of it, complete with lunch and shopping.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0No prior knowledge of knitting or crocheting is necessary; in fact, there are volunteers who will help teach you and get you started. \u00a0Just bring your yarn, knitting needles or crochet hooks, and a willingness to learn and laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n
