This is an informal meetup for local crocheters, knitters, spinners, and anyone else with an interest in fiber arts. We'll be meeting at cafes to play with our fluffy things together, to show off our latest triumphs, and perhaps bring our latest messes that need some gentle fixing.
I've started this because my own circle of yarn buddies unraveled a few years back as people moved away. I've missed these simple, happy gatherings each month and hope we can build something new and fun together.
If there's interest, I'd be happy to include informal instruction at some meetings. I've published articles on different fiber techniques, and taught at conferences. I like bringing new stuff to people to get them excited. There's so much to play with out there!
Our next MeetupA break from holiday madness!
I don't know if anyone will be interested in taking a break from Thanksgiving, football games, and the Black Friday shopping frenzy -- but I will be at Starbucks this Saturday at 1pm as always. Playing with yarn is good for the soul. And you can even say you're making a holiday present, if some grumpy, dysfunctional relative catches you sneaking out of the house. Read more

“I used to knit, but currently am working on several drawing projects. It is sort of hard to find drawing groups, however. I'd love to attend the gatherings, and work creatively in the company of others.”
