When you find one of Little Heart Project's hearts, they want you to feel loved. The Little Heart Project is people leaving small knit or crocheted hearts with a note of encouragement wherever one goes; whether it be the grocery store, the library, the gas station, your hometown coffee shop or bar, the Empire State Building, or the Great Wall of China. Learn more about Little Heart Project's mission and make and tag some hearts. All supplies provided, but if you have any size J crochet hooks or yarn to use up, please bring them. This event is for adults and teens with an interest in spreading love, encouragement, and kindness.
