⛅️🌈 Hey Starshines! It's time for a lore drop! 👀 Back in 2008 at the age of 15, Gwyndylyn finally got her invite to join Ravelry. Four days later, she made her first post in the Teens Knit & Crochet group. (Back when the social aspect of the site really meant something.) It was the first time she had been introduced to people her own age who stitched, and for a long time, they were the only people her age who stitched. As a neurodivergent homeschooled kid in the panhandle of Florida, it helped her feel less isolated and more normal. These people were all going through similar things and the sense of community was almost overwhelming at times. Since then, Gwyndylyn has made a point to create inclusive environments wherever she stitches. It's this group that helped ignite the spark that led her to this point, so what better way could we give back than by creating that same kind of inclusive space for the next wave of fiber artists?
Teens 13-17 can join the couches every other Saturday, starting April 4th, from 11a-1p(ish) for snacks and social time with others who get you where you're at!
