Calling all knitting and crochet enthusiasts! Join host and textile facilitator Denise for a cozy monthly gathering dedicated to the art of fiber and thread. This meetup is designed to be an inclusive haven where you can slow down, dive into your latest project, and enjoy the company of fellow makers. Whether you are a master of the needle or just picking up a hook for the first time, you will find a supportive and friendly environment to create and relax.

What to Expect

  • Dedicated Project Time: Enjoy a generous block of time to make progress on your current work-in-progress or start something entirely new in a focused, creative atmosphere.
  • Skill Sharing & Troubleshooting: This is a wonderful opportunity to learn a new stitch, get help with a tricky pattern, or exchange favorite tips and shortcuts with other crafters.
  • Heartfelt Connection: Beyond the crafts, these sessions are about building a vibrant community. Enjoy engaging conversations, brainstorm future projects, and connect with neighbors who share your love for handmade textiles.

What to Bring

  • Your Projects: Please bring your knitting needles, crochet hooks, embroidery hoops, and whatever yarn or thread you are currently working with.
  • Resources to Share: If you have a favorite pattern, a helpful guide, or a finished piece you’re proud of, feel free to bring it along to inspire the group.
  • Curiosity: Even if you’re between projects, you are more than welcome to come for the conversation and the collective wisdom of the group.

Who Should Join

This meetup is open to the public and welcomes fiber artists of all skill levels. If you have a passion for knitting, crocheting, embroidery, or any related textile craft, and you’re looking for a community to grow with, we would love to have you.
