The Austin Knitting and Crocheting Meetup Group

Craft with Craft. Bring the portable CRAFT of your choice and enjoy it alongside CRAFT beer (or whatever) and friendly faces sporting crafty wit*. We're pretty darn fun. For reals, we knit in a bar, so we are nothing like your mama's stitch & bitch. Knit, Crochet, Cross stitch, or craft whatever lap work you are into at the moment. The lighting is pretty good. Still, you might want to bring an easy project as a backup...because we do craft in a bar! The Dig Pub, a 21+up bar, has a fantastic craft beer selection, a good wine list, sodas, and tea. They also have a great menu if you want to have dinner. Many Wednesdays are Pint Night where if you try the featured beer, you get to keep a glass. Happy Hour goes until 7pm, so we'll start a tiny bit before at 6:50pm. Someone is usually there until 10pm. We crochet in a bar! Please RSVP if you can make it. Regulars, please RSVP "no" if you know you can not make it. We'll meet if we have four or more. RSVPs are only open until the afternoon of the event, so everyone can plan their evenings. One more thing, because we... (say it with us...) "knit in a bar" (* great job * !)... we are not the best group for teaching. If you have learned elsewhere and come to us with specific questions, we might be able to help. If you are brand new to one of the crafts, we recommend you find a class at your local yarn shop. *We So Punny!

The Steeping Room allows a maximum reservation of 8. If we go over 8 guests, the late-comers will not necessarily be seated with the larger group. A waiting list will be created if necessary. Please make sure that your RSVP is correct by 11:00am on Wednesday morning. We enjoy everyone participating in this group. We have limited the number of people at this meetup because of the size of the restaurant, and we need 100% commitment from everyone who RSVP's. If you RSVP and then your plans change, please change your status asap. If you have any questions, please contact Johanna Staples, the organizer, directly. Tell the wait staff you are part of the Wednesday night knitting group if you are unsure.

Come join us for a night of knitting, crocheting or any other weaving craft! We will be meeting weekly now, still at Cups and Cones in Steiner Ranch, with a slight pull-in of the time, now from 7:30-9:00pm. All levels welcome! Hope to see you there! Laura

For 2018 please double-check the location of this meet up a day or two before attending - it may change depending on the host's availability. Knitters and crocheters of all skill levels are welcome to come work on projects and talk. We meet until 12:30ish, and usually some or all of us go out to lunch afterwards (no one will make you feel bad if you can't/don't want to go to lunch with us.)

Bring your needles and your project and come for a relaxing afternoon of knitting/crocheting. Central Market has a great cafe where you can pick up a late lunch or just get a coffee or gelato. We're always excited to see new faces!!!

Come hang out at Panera Bread with other knitters and crocheters between 2-5pm to work on your projects. Feel free to stay for as long as you'd like. All levels of fiber fanatics welcome. If you don't how to knit or crochet but want to learn, several local shops offer great beginner classes. Please RSVP so we know how many tables and chairs to snag.

• What we'll do We are Knot Just Knitters! As the name suggests, we also have crocheters, spinners, the occasional weaver or other fiber artist. We welcome those of every skill level! • What to bring Yourself, your project/s and supplies, and some positive conversation! • Important to know We are primarily a social group and we have adult conversations, so keep that in mind. Also, the regulars don't usually RSVP so don't be intimidated by a low attendance numbers! We're still here! • Directions The building is a bit easy to miss, but look for the bright blue awning of the next-door child-care center and pull in there. Parking is in back of the building - watch out for signs indicating parking only for the child-care center. The room fee is a $15 tab per hour for the whole room, which is quite easy to keep up. They have a variety of gluten-free and normal baked goods and snacks, soda, and of course coffee, tea, and free WiFi if you want to bring a laptop or other device. * Join the facebook group as well to chat to those you've met! https://www.facebook.com/groups/140961766767744/ (Members are added after they've been to the group to keep it intimate!)
