Celebrate Juneteenth with the Committed Knitters: A Day of Craft, Community & Joy

Come celebrate freedom, creativity, and collective care—one stitch at a time. Join the Committed Knitters for a hands-on celebration in honor of Juneteenth—a day that commemorates Black freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward liberation. This gathering is more than a crafting circle—it's a space to honor history as we build new connections.

Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or just curious about picking up some yarn, you're warmly invited to come knit, crochet, learn, and connect with fellow makers of all experience levels. We'll have complimentary snacks and drinks, special giveaways, and free yarn and needles for all participants. Bring a friend or come solo—there’s a seat for you at the table.
