Yarn Swap:
Feel free to bring yarns that need a new home to this meetup. We will put on a table where you can pick exchange your yarn for another that may suit your tastes better. If your yarn is not picked up, please take it with you.
Using public spaces
Our monthly knitting meetups are a fantastic chance to get together, share patterns, unwind with our favorite projects, and enjoy the beautiful public spaces New York City has to offer. We're so lucky to have these free spaces and we want to keep them clean and inviting for everyone. To that end, we ask that you keep a few things in mind when attending our meetups:
- Self-Service: Our meetups are all about community and self-reliance! There's no concierge service, so upon arrival, please find a chair and set up your own space. And before you leave, kindly put your chair back where you found it.
- Clean Up: Please be sure to pack away all your knitting supplies when you're done, including yarn scraps and any packaging. If your yarn is not picked up by others during yarn swap, please take it with you. We want to leave no trace of our crafting other than the warm memories and gorgeous creations!
- Respect the Space: Let's remember to use these public spaces in a way that doesn't disturb others. We're sharing the park and library with the rest of the community, so let's be mindful of noise levels and take care not to take up more space than necessary.
- Be a Good Neighbor: When we meet in the park, please dispose of any picnic waste in the proper receptacles.
By following these simple steps, we can ensure that everyone can enjoy these spaces just as much as we do. And most importantly, we can continue to have our fantastic knitting meetups without a hitch!
Remember, a stitch in time saves nine, and a quick clean up saves us from losing our favorite knitting spots!
