"The purpose of the SBU Crochet Club is to provide a space for the crocheters of Stony Brook University to share their work and collaborate amongst others in individual/group projects, as well as encourage beginners to explore the craft of crocheting at their leisure. Additionally, we wish to build a welcoming community of crocheters on campus and promote the mental health benefits that align with the recreational and calming nature of crochet. We welcome crocheters of all levels from beginner to advanced, and intend to support the beginners with the basics. We also encourage bringing supplies (i.e. yarn, hooks, stitch markers) from home for any personal/ongoing projects, but we wish to provide club supplies as well. Our future endeavors include volunteer and donation opportunities; for example, donation of crocheted works to Stony Brook University Hospital and other organizations."
