Tomorrow night! Stitch, Knit & Don’t Quit with Ararat Women's Shed and surrounds! 🧶
Wednesday 27th May | Doors open 5:30pm | Stitch session runs 6–8pm
💰 Entry by gold coin donation

Bring any project that doesn’t need a machine, from knitting and crochet to embroidery, hand sewing, sketching, or even sewing on that pesky pile of buttons! The Ararat Women’s Shed team hope to have some mentors on hand at each session too, so if you've ever wanted to try crochet or knitting, they hope to be able to get you started.

It’s also the perfect excuse to tackle the tasks hiding in your sewing hamper while enjoying great company, creativity, and conversation.

Come along, roll through your granny squares, and don’t quit!
