Do you practice any form of textile crafting (knitting, crochet, cross stitch, embroidery, quilting, etc)???

Join us while we work on making cool stuff with threads and needles (or hooks) and chat about whatever we want to share with the other nerds.

You can bring any sort of materials to complement your textile work, but please NOTHING THAT CAN SPILL, STAIN, STICK OR BURN. All levels are welcome, and we encourage sharing materials and techniques with each other too.

Please support the venue! Vinya is a wine bar/yoga studio that offers a selection of wines from small producers and family-owned wineries, local draft beer, and delicious food. The venue is in a strip mall with lots of parking.

I look forward to our next crafting session!

A biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor set out into an area known as Area X, which is abandoned and cut off from the rest of civilization; they are the 12th expedition, with all previous expeditions falling apart due to disappearances, suicides, aggressive cancers, and mental trauma. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.

They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers―they discover lifeforms that surpass understanding. But it’s the secrets they carried across the border with them that change everything.

We hope to see you there!

There is a line of people who eat books and gain the knowledge written inside. Devon is a woman who was given fairy tales to eat while her brothers feasted on books of valor and adventure. Devon's life is upturned when her son is born with a darker hunger; not for books but human minds.

We hope to see you there!
