BET Knitters
The BET Knitters are Beth El women who enjoy a knitting or crocheting get-together. We make squares which are then sewn or crocheted together to create a lap-afghan. They are colorful, useful and brighten a dreary room. When finished, they are delivered to places like homeless shelters, hospitals, orphanages, special-needs care facilities -- anywhere they are needed. They are most welcome in the Greater Hartford area and many have made their way to Israel.
In addition to afghans, we also make and deliver hats, scarves, mittens, and gloves -- in sizes from infant to young teens. Creating these items has been a joy, but the commradery and friendships that have developed at our knitting sessions is just as meaningful.
We generally meet once a month on a Sunday morning at 10 AM at Beth El Temple. We do not meet during the summer.
