What a fun beginning to 2023 we are having!

 Our NINTH Yarn Tasting was s were soooooo much fun! We were thrilled to welcome so many friends over those days and celebrate together. As we do every year, we kicked things off with the final count of the collection for the previous year in the Donation Chest! 

A total of ５６７５items were donated last year!!!!

The Donation Chest is always “working” hard during year, thanks to y’all, and we are all very excited for the increase in people we are able to serve! Your contributions and support have blessed us over the last eight years. There are so many people that add to this ministry and add to our Donation Chest. That giving heart continues to inspire others to lend their talents to serve in helping others, wherever they are! Currently, we serve twenty-four different mission groups around the world, as they serve to meet the needs of so many! Orphanages, the homeless, grief counseling, pregnancy centers to name a few and now we collect and distribute knitted knockers (breast prosthetics). We know that in every bag that is sent out, encouragement and joy are being delivered. Our chest is not just a destination, it is the beginning of hugging the world, one stitch at a time. THANKS to so many who continue to #stitchitforward with us!

Everyone is welcome to stop by for a little Sit-n-Knit time, too. LOTS of show-n-tell going on, so you never know what you'll see and be inspired to try yourself! Classes are going on and those are always fun. Our heartfelt thanks to our ALL VOLUNTEER teachers ~ They are the best-est! 💗

Hope you'll come by and join in the #yarnfun with us!

 

 

 

 

 

2022 Make-Along is HERE!

Last year we had a blast doing our first ever Make-Along! What's a Make-Along, you ask? It is a fun time of creation and giving, all wrapped into one! Every month we will provide inspiration based on our theme for the year. You then create an item for the Donation Chest at The Lamb's Loom. Our theme last year was Fine Fibered Friends ~ birds of all kinds that live here and migrate through the area. 

This year’s theme is BFFs, or Butterfly Flitty Friends. One of the many things that attract our Winter Texan friends to the area is to see all the wonderful birds that live here year around, and those that migrate thru the area. Our South Texas weather keeps the blooms blooming all year and that attracts the birds.

​So! Every month on our website we will introduce you to a different butterfly in the area, provide yarn suggestions and off you go! Make your favorite project like a hat, scarf, blanket or shawl for the Donation Chest every month. You are welcome to purchase your yarn here (that supports the mission, too!), or dive into your own stash and find something fun that works with the theme! All year we will celebrate those who participate with prizes and of course, HUGE thanks for being our BFF on this project and giving of your time to support and help so many. Check out the website for updates and new BFFs every month!!!
