JARVIS—Knitting needles and crochet hooks were in motion for all to see as members of the Jarvis Knitting Social Club participated in the annual World Knitting in Public Day on June 11, 2022 at the Jarvis Library. Whether in sunshine or shade, participants enjoyed an afternoon of creating and conversation. The many projects being worked on included baby hats for St. Joseph’s Hospital, a neck warmer, a Persian tile Afghan, towel tops for hand towels, and poppies for the Haldimand Horticultural Society. Most in attendance have been knitting or crochet enthusiasts for decades, having learned from their mothers, grandmothers, or in Home Economics class.

The Jarvis Knitting Social Club meets at the library on Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and new members are always welcome. —Haldimand Press photo by Sheila Phibbs.
