Y Knot Knit and Crochet Club

We are looking for experienced and beginner knitters and crocheters on Wednesday mornings to help us knit baby blankets and hats, mitts, scarves, and toques for those in need with yarn we have received from generous donors. All items created are for donation and will be distributed to those in need through our community partners. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others while giving back to your community! Yarn is supplied. Please bring your own knitting needles and crochet hooks. Members and non-members are welcome, book in advance each week on Active NET.

That’s right – we’re opening the Steam Rooms! Starting September 13^th, Steam Rooms in the Men’s and Women’s change rooms will be open for up to a maximum of TWO members at a time. Masks are not required but members must maintain social distancing when in the Steam Rooms.
