Calling ALL Knitters and Crocheters, grab your needles and hooks, some yarn, a friend or two, and come and knit for a bit!The first Knit In for 2025 will be Saturday, February 15 from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. in the Museum’s second floor courtroom. Knitters and crocheters are welcome to come and create charity items or work on their own projects in the company of like-minded crafters.
This quarter’s featured project will be making fidget cuffs for older adults in local senior care facilities. Fidget cuffs help patients who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's keep their hands active and busy. The cuffs have ribbon, buttons, beads, or textured stitches on them that help stimulate the senses and keep hands snug and warm at the same time. Patterns are available, and buttons and beads will be available to attached to completed cuffs.
Mark your calendar for the rest of the 2025 Knit Ins from 10am to 1pm on the following dates :
May 10 at Illinois Art Station
August 16 at the McLean County Arts Center
November 8 at The Hangar Art Co.
Parking will be available at the Lincoln Parking Deck, located one block south of the Museum on Front Street, or on the street around the Museum.
