It is winter, so same rules as last time apply. If it is less than 55 degrees or raining; we will cancel. If it is above 55 degrees and not raining, we will be there; dress for the weather.

Is this your first-time coming out to a Knit-together? Wondering how you will find us and if you will know anyone?
Here are some answers…

Sarah and Marie usually arrive about 10-15 minutes prior.
You will find us by the big Teal suitcase full of charity yarn. (we are usually the only people in the brewery with a suitcase)
We welcome knitters who are new to KANG, or have not attended a Knit-together before.
We are all a little shy and socially awkward in our own way, but you will find that conversation comes easy when we talk about our knitting projects.
You can come out to drop off completed work and pick up more yarn, only
You can drop off your completed work and sit and knit (or crochet, or needle point, or weave) with us for a bit
You don’t need to finish your project in 3 hours. Take it home, finish it, and show up at our next Knit-Together to drop it off

What to bring?

Your tools (needles, hooks, markers, hoops, looms, etc).
(optional) a chair. Some folks don’t like sitting at the picnic tables.
(optional) a pattern. We have a few patterns printed, but feel free to work whatever pattern you like.

What to make:

hats
gloves/mittens
scarves/cowls
Peyton hearts
Warm-up America squares
blankets
slippers
stuffed toys
socks
sweaters (especially baby and child, which are much faster to make)
