Downtown Knitting

The Penny Farthing

"When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always knit - downtown.
When you've got worries, grab your knitting and hurry
Come and knit with us - downtown."

Downtown Knitting is back - bigger and better than ever before!
We're starting 2023 with a new venue - Linen Hall, which is next door to Penny Farthing.

Uptown, Midtown and out of town knitters, crocheters, hand stitchers, yarn and fabric lovers are welcome!

PLEASE NOTE: This event is popular and always has a waiting list - if you are unable to attend, please change your RSVP by midnight Wednesday. RSVPs that are changed the day of the event are considered a NO SHOW - 2 no shows and you are unable to attend capped events. If you are on the waitlist and want to attend - message me, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.
