Social Knittings
- Knitting Coffees at the Museum
Since 2014, in partnership with the City Museums, we organise some amazing knitting-coffees, on a regular basis.
These meetings usually take place on fridays, from 10 to 12 AM, and are open to everyone, whether you know how to knit or not.
Our Knitting-Coffees are amazing occasions to meet new people, to learn an ancient know-how, to chill and chat while knitting and drinking a cup of coffee. If you're lucky, you may even eat a piece of the delicious cakes baked by Jean Michel, Maria, Danielle, Sue or Lilia...
Several well-rounded knitters are available, the 2 hours long, to assist you in your knitting project : just ask them !
Next Coffee in 2020 : On February 7 at Villa Vauban. It will be followed by a guided tour of the collections.
On March 6 at Letzebuerg City Museum, as on April 3, May 8, and June 12. The coffee session of June will be followed by a guided tour of the collections.

- Inclusive Knitting Coffees
Mamie et Moi offers to its members a fantastic occasion to build bridges and links with the "refugees" living in Lily Unden Red Cross Foyer.
Once a month (at least), we organise a Knitting Coffee in the Foyer : our grannies help the residents ( women & children, mainly) to learn or re-discover how to knit; all the material they need to realize their own hat, pull-over or else, is provided by us and the Red Cross.
Step by step, the residents start talking, sharing experiences, specific know-hows.
If you are interested in taking part of our Inclusive Knitting Coffees, please pre-register at moien@mamieetmoi.lu
Next coffee in 2020 : February 13, April 9, May 14, June 4, July 2, from 2 to 5 PM.

- set up of an event in the elevator of the Museum: a real lounge at the heart of the elevator: about ten grannies were knitting while sitting comfortably on the sofa with a cup of tea in; visitors were surprised, amused and often sat with our grannies for a few moments to discuss and learn how to knit.
