Our craft group, Loose Ends is partnering with the Allen County Health Department to raise awareness of shaken baby syndrome. Loose Ends is knitting/crocheting purple baby hats for new mothers to remind them that the crying is temporary. You can pick up a skein of purple yarn at the library and knit/crochet a baby hat. If you don’t know how to knit/crochet, don’t worry, Loose Ends will teach you. They meet every Tuesday at 3:30 pm. Supplies are provided for beginners.
