This needlecraft  ministry brings comfort to members and friends of ERUUF, as well as to local organizations, through hand-knitted or crocheted items (block afghans, care shawls, work caps and baby items.) Clicking also encourages knitting and crocheting as spiritual practices. 

Clicking for a Cause is currently meeting once a month in person on the 2nd Monday of the month for fellowship.  If you would like to join us, please contact Linda Brown ().  In alignment with ERUUF policy, masks will be required until further notice.

Post Covid: We are in the process of reaching out to the organizations we provided items for in the past, so that we might start our donation efforts back up soon. 

 

 

Our mission is threefold:

  • To create comfort and warmth for our community through gifts and donations crafted from needles and yarn.
  • To encourage needle workers to transform the rhythm of knitting and crocheting into a spiritual practice.
  • To promote Unitarian Universalism through our donations and by opening our activities to needle workers seeking community.

Our members individually craft 7”x 9” knit or crocheted blocks. You can find patterns for the blocks here.

As a group, we assemble these blocks into blankets and shawls.

We also create children’s clothes and teddy bears. In the colder months, we create hats, scarves, and mittens.

The organizations we have supported include Duke Hospice, Welcome Baby, UNC Doula program, Meals on Wheels of Durham, Urban Ministries of Durham, TROSA, and Threshold Clubhouse.

We welcome newcomers of all levels from the most experienced to those who are looking to learn a new skill.
