Charity Knit Nights Thursdays 10/6, 11/10 & 12/8 from 7 - 9 pm
Knitche charity knitters meet once a month to support worthy causes near and far. We gather once a month to knit teddy bears for the Mother Bear Project, an organization providing a bit of comfort, in the form of a handmade teddy bear, to children affected by AIDS/HIV in emerging African countries. A nominal donation for the pattern subsidizes the shipping of each bear for this truly selfless cause. We are also knitting/crocheting blankets for the Project Linus Foundation. For more information on these efforts, please visit www.motherbearproject.org and www.projectlinus.org. Drop-In Knitting Clinic every Thursday from 5 - 7 pm unless another event is scheduled
Don't dial "911," just stop by for some advice on your latest knitting dilemma. For a $5 entry fee you'll get some personalized assistance from our staff on whatever pattern you're working on. If you can let us know ahead of time that you will be attending, our staff will be better able to serve you. Clinic hours run from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm followed by Open Knitting/Charity Knitting at 7:00 pm Open Knitting Thursdays 9/15, 9/22, 9/29, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, 11/17, 12/1, 12/15, 12/22 & 12/29 from 7 - 9 pm
Join our informal knitting circle for some stitching camaraderie on Thursday nights after Clinic finishes up at 7:00 pm. Retail and food service stay open until 8:00 pm for your shopping convenience. Open Crochet/Spinning Mondays 10/3, 11/7 & 12/5 from 7 - 9 pm
On the first Monday of the month, Mary and Nancy keep the place open for those wishing to commune publicly with their spindles, wheels or hooks. All levels welcome. Men's Knit Night Resumes on Sundays 10/2, 11/6, & 12/4 from 6 – 8 pm This fall we are pleased to once again offer a monthly gathering of that not so rare breed, the male knitter, who from what we’ve seen are a darn talented group. On the first Sunday of the month, from 6-8 pm, the guys have their own night at Knitche, hosted by Tony, our local stellar knitter/spinner/barista.
