If you've been thinking about attending but haven't yet, please do come! We're all quite friendly and this group exists to help others with their current projects!

If you're a brand-new knitter ,-- that is, if you've never picked up needles before, we recommend visiting one of the local yarn stores or one of the big-box craft stores for beginner's classes. I highly recommend learning from a knitting master, which I am not (yet)! If this isn't your style, I actually learned how to knit from www.knittinghelp.com and Knitting for Dummies! It can be done!
