Knit Your Bit

Knit your bit with

The South Jefferson Public Library!

We have a couple on going Knit/Crochet Charity Projects that all are welcome to contribute to!

1. We continue to take hats, scarves, gloves and other warm articles for the Jefferson County Community Ministries upcoming Winter Season!
2. Join us for our Fall Edition of Sit and Stitch by starting your Prayer Shawl or Lap Robe for the Jefferson County Senior Center. (Official Event Date TBA)

We have Patterns and Yarn Available but feel free to use any!

Yay for Knitting!!

I am proud to say that this years Knit in Public Day was another success! Lots of friends, food and fun gathered at our library to make warm goods for the local community ministries!

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who came out throughout the day! I also want to remind everyone that we will continue to take your donations of yarn or completed items. The library makes several donations to the community ministries throughout the year in some shape or form so we can definitely get it to them! They yarn donation will either go to the completion of items for the Ministry or our fall project which will be Prayer Shawls. Patterns for all of these items are available at the South Jefferson Public Library in Summit Point WV, but feel free to use your own!

We have not set a date for Sit and Stitch Fall Edition but we have decided to make Prayer Shawls and/or Lap Blankets for the local Senior Center. We are attempting to find out if there is interest in a once monthly sit and stitch at the library... If you would like to be included on this mailing list please message me with your email address at whitney.jenkins@martin.lib.wv.us

Again thank you so much for your continued support!!

World Wide Knit in Public Day is Coming!!!

Be like Andy and join us at the South Jefferson Public Library for Knit (and Crochet) in Public Day 2013!  Here at the library we will be meeting Saturday June 8th from 10-5. Please feel free to stop by anytime that day to sit, stitch, and chat while we work on items to be donated to charity! This year we will be making items to donate to the Jefferson County Community Ministries. We now have patterns at the library available for Mittens, Hats, and Scarves in Crochet and Knitting! These patterns aren't required, just for your convenience, but please feel free to use any pattern that you like!

As always we will have snacks, limited yarn, and fun available!!!
If you want to contribute but can't come feel free to drop off any yarn, or completed items at the library between now and June 10th!

And due to popular demand we will be actively planning our fall edition of the library sit and stitch. Our first "long term" project for this will be prayer shawls. We're excited to discuss this new additon on June 8th!

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring!! I am out of Blog Hibernation!!

I do have an ulterior motive though... As many of you know I am a Young Adult Librarian at our little library in Summit Point... as such I am always wracking my brain (or slamming it against the wall) for ways to get my age group more interested in library events especially Summer Reading!! To help with this the other library ladies and I have created an online YA Book Club/Blog.

The Stacks! Still in its construction stages, The Stacks is available at http://yastacks.blogspot.com , please feel free to check it out (if you'll excuse the library pun) and leave your feedback. I'm hoping to have our first book posts up in May with the idea that 2 books a month will be suggested, each with their own post. You either read, have already read, or have no intention of reading these books, but either way you are invited to leave your (heavily moderated) comment.

Any feedback, either on this blog or directly at the Stacks blog would be greatly appreciated!!
