Is there a mom and tot group anywhere? Sounds great!
Hello I’m just curious about the mum and tot stitch and bitch, how old are the babies and how many people tent to come? My son is 5 months and I love to crochet, I’d love to have some mums to chill with while working on a project.
Peace Kirsty
Hi Kirsty… unfortunately, this group hasn’t been active for a few years now. I will update the website accordingly. My apologies!
Hi Kristy – Have you found a mom and tot stitch and bitch in the city?
Hi ya! Good question! I love this idea but we no longer do one! We were not able to find a date/time that worked for enough moms and tots; and I am not sure where there is a group at the moment. I will keep my ears open if I hear more on this!
