The Butler Machine Knitters was founded by Jackie Huff, Shirley Grossman and Ruth Schnell thirty years ago. Still going strong, membership currently totals about twenty active machine knitters. they meet the third Thursday of each month at St. Peter Roman Catholic Church, 127 Franklin Street, Butler, PA. Members come from Pittsburgh and Meadville, Ohio as well as Butler County. The group always picks a charity to help. This year, they are knitting Christmas stockings for the local shut-ins that St. Peter Church treats during the holidays. Below are samples of Butler Machine Knitters’ handiwork including the Christmas stockings.
