A group of crocheting women has sprung up at Rouquette Lodge. The women meet up just about every day to create warm works of art.

Pam Marshall, the woman leading the charge, says that she’s been crocheting since she was about 8 years old. 
The women gather in community spaces at the Mandeville property to make blankets and hats. Some of the materials are donated to the group and others are purchased by the women themselves. "We are accepting donations," says Pam.

Some in the group are more experienced than others, but they all agree that creating something for others brings "peace, joy and harmony." 
Pam Marshall says that, "She's willing to teach anyone who wants to join." Others in the group chimed in that she's a great instructor.

Fingers turn the pastel pieces of fabric into meaningful items that will keep newborn babies warm. They are donated to the Northlake pregnancy crisis center as well as St. Tammany Parish Hospital. The items are all washed and sterilized before being given out.
