GET YOUR KNIT TOGETHER! is growing and still going strong. Every month at least one-third of the attendees are brand new to knitting. By the end of their first two hour class, they have learned how to cast on, are knitting quite well and already dreaming about their next project. In January, we had 36 people attend, our largest turnout ever. A librarian who is also a photographer captured some of the fun.
Our next meeting will be Saturday, February 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the lower level of the Main Library in the Latino / Hispanic Meeting Room A. We will continue to meet once a month on the 3rd Saturday of each month (excluding April) until the end of this year.
Just like the class, the library’s collection of knitting books is growing. Here is a sampling of some of our newest books:
Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter by Alison Hansel (746.432 H1981c) – Harry Potter aficionados and those who knit for them will love these 28 knitwear designs.
