Friday Night Craft-a-thon

Published: August 10, 2016  ~   0

Our weekly craft-a-thon will currently be held every Friday at 7:00 pm at our Chief Officer’s address:

10019 Woodlake Dr., Dallas, TX 75243

As always, there will be homemade vegan treats for all attendees! Please let us know ahead of time if you plan on coming so that we can expect you; you can either leave a message with us on our ‘Contact Us’ page here or you can call or leave a text message with us at (214) 998-2770. We look forward to meeting and crafting with you!

If you are interested in coming to our meetings but do not yet know how to craft, have no fear! We will gladly teach you how to start. For example, just this past week, our Chief Officer, Victoria, met up with a new T.H.R.I.V.E. Assn. volunteer at a local Half-Price Books to personally teach her how to crochet. All who wish to craft are welcome at our craft-a-thons, so don’t be a stranger!

Mittens and Meetings

Published: August 3, 2016  ~   0

Firstly, this week’s vegan delight for our local volunteers and staff, is a homemade cherry pie. As every one of our fantastic volunteers continues to craft hats, scarves, etc., we would like to commend you all for your hard work and dedication to the cause!

As was stated in our last blog post, we have added more patterns to our repertoire. The mittens in the photo below were made using Red Heart’s pattern “Mittens for All” (WR2160), which is also posted on our Ravelry page.

Our goal is to have as many mittens as we have hats. If you need help with these or other patterns, please feel free to contact us in the comments section below or on our Ravelry page.

Do you live in the DFW Metroplex and want to learn to knit, crochet, sew or just want to find out more about T.H.R.I.V.E. Association? We would love to meet our community and invite the T.H.R.I.V.E. family to join us for several upcoming events. We are currently looking to organize a Friday night craft-a-thon each Friday starting next Friday, August 12. Location and time to be announced soon. Stay tuned for more details!
