    Running with Scissors - Craft Event

    Running with Scissors - Craft Event

    Karori Arts & Crafts Centre
    Wednesday, 25 September 10 am to 1 pm All craft activities are for beginners and seasoned crafters alike! Find your knitting needles, prepare your crochet hooks, and don your thimbles! 3 simultaneous activities are scheduled for the Craft Event. Will you run with your scissors to join the quilters making quilt blocks, or will you run with your scissors to join the knitters and crocheters making "Nana Squares"? Because we at Karori Arts like to not only do our own crafting, but also like to give back to the community, quilt blocks made during the Craft Event will be finished into a quilt and donated to charity. Likewise, crocheted and knitted squares will be stitched into a blanket and donated to charity.
