	"description": "Welcome to DC DSA’s Fiber Arts group! This group aims to promote, celebrate, and build community around the fiber arts, including knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidering, felting, and needle-punching. This group is be a way for members to develop fiber skills, mitigate burnout, and connect organizers who normally work in different realms. We plan to have sessions dedicated to learning skills such as darning and patching, as well as creating agitpop for the chapter and other radical causes, both for visibility and fundraising projects. Overall, we believe having a fiber arts community strengthens our bonds as organizers and community members while curating a low-barrier space where organizers can exchange ideas and be creative. Our August meeting will be our first knitting/crocheting bee, in which we will knit and crochet squares for quilted blankets! We are partnering with the Foundry Church, through whom we will donate blankets to those in need for this coming fall and winter. Our goal for this coming meeting is to knit/crochet enough squares for ten 5’ x 6’ blankets. We will be assembling the blankets at a later date so, for now, it’s all about producing as many squares as possible. Items to bring: Yarn: We will be providing yarn, but, if you can, we would appreciate any and all yarn donations, especially cotton/synthetic yarn (in case of wool allergies)Knitting needles/crochet hooks: we will have some extras available, but please bring your own if you have them!Friends: Please invite a pal (or two) for, as the adage goes—many hands make light work! Gossip/Chisme: what’s a knitting bee without stories?Location TBA! We are looking for a big enough space to accommodate us all. See you soon",
