Knitter's Social

**Note the start time for this location is at 6:30.** UPDATE: we do have enough interest for two teams, so those with priority status have been moved from the waitlist to “going.” If you are still on the waitlist, spots may still open up, if anyone drops out this week. We are back at Solace Outpost for Thursday night trivia! The game starts at 7:00 pm. Right now we are planning on just one team. If we get enough signed up on the waitlist, we may open it up to two teams. Spots are limited, we can only have 7 players. This is a great chance to connect, have some fun, and show off our smarts. Come for the fun, stay for the friendly competition- let's show everyone how SSB does trivia!

Come Craft with us. Don't let the lack of RSVPs stop you, they aren't required, nor is membership to our group. Bring your project and join a boisterous group of crafters in the Kogod Courtyard of the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery - American Art Museum. This glass roofed space is climate controlled and has the most beautiful light for crafting. (If there's an event in Courtyard head over to the MLK library Cafe.)

Artistic Artifacts hosts **Open Stitch sessions EVERY Thursday evenings** from 5:30 - 7:30 pm — join us! This is a drop-in, bring your own hand stitching project and the necessary supplies (or you can knit, crochet... whatever needle arts you like). There’s no fee to attend, no instruction nor agenda — just a time to spend with other creatives!

I have set up a Zoom meeting that anyone with a computer (phones count) with the free Zoom app can access. By Saturday, I will send a meeting ID to all attendees through meetup.

Come unwind and grab food and/or drinks while meeting people.🍻🍝 Punch Bowl Social is a 24000 square foot, multi-floor venue with bars, food, and various activities including darts, pool, arcade games, bowling and more. We anticipate meeting up at the **second floor** where there is a full bar and it is quieter. We have a table reserved there for us all! It’s a chill event so stay for an hour or the whole time.
