Echo Park Store Offers Once-a-Week Knitting Circle

Hecho en Echo offers baskets made from recycled clothing, unique gifts, vintage clothing and more

Looking for a knitting circle? Don't know how to knit? No problem! Hecho En Echo, the vintage clothing and gifts store, on Echo Park Ave. holds a knitting circle once a week on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m.

Patch spoke with store owner Sharmagne Leland-St. John-Sylbert who said the store has been opened since May. During her time in Echo Park, she said the neighborhood has been so wonderful and loving that she wanted to create a community space for people to come together once a week and create something. Everyone is welcome and she suggests they bring a snack or dish to share. 

Hecho En Echo is located at 1825 Echo Park Ave. For more information you can e mail Sharmagne at HechoEnEcho@aol.com or visit the store on Facebook
