Critters, Critters, Critters!

Let’s Make Some Critters!

When: January 10, 2026, from 1–4 pm
Where: Sequoya Library, 4340 Tokay Blvd, Madison
Location: Conference Rooms A & B

The Madison Knitters Guild creates Critters to support children’s reading programs at the Monona, McFarland, and Edgerton Libraries.

We have also been invited by DAIS (Domestic Abuse Intervention Services) to include their organization as a recipient of Critters. This includes adult sized critters. Let's bring back some comfort chickens!

Two of the libraries have chosen Dinosaurs as their theme, so I hope to have some newly tested dinosaur patterns available. Of course, all Critters are welcome to join the menagerie!

Community Projects plans to provide safety eyes and is seeking recommendations for reliable brands or sources.

Yarn—including many types of novelty yarn—will be available, along with stuffing, embroidery floss, felt, and pom-pom makers. Please bring your own knitting needles and/or crochet hooks.

Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year!
