The reporting lives at KARE 11. Our summary is checked against it, and we link it on every story.
A crochet club at Mercado Local in Northfield is a multigenerational group of Latina women who stitch together and then put the work where the town can see it. Their pieces now hang in trees downtown. The city is a partner in getting the art up.
The knots are how the group spends time with one another. The trees are how the rest of Northfield meets what they made.
