Philomena's Friends
Description: Philomena's Friends is open to all students that either want to learn how to knit or crochet, or have already learned these age old crafts. We meet once every week after school for an hour. The students are encouraged to make items to donate to local charities and if they do so, they can earn some of their required service hours. We have a great bunch of dedicated and crafty students that have learned how to make sweaters, halter tops, blankets/afghans, stuffed animals, purses, hats and scarves. We welcome students of all skill levels and hope to make knitting and crocheting more popular one stitch at a time.
