Get Your Knit Together at Knit Happens: Knitting & Crochet Club

Want to learn how to knit or crochet or hang out with others knitters and crocheters? Starting this month Get Your Knit Together (for adults) and Knit Happens (for teens) have combined into one big all ages (9 and up) knit and crochet gathering! The library will provide supplies to practice on but bring your own yarn and needles or hooks to start your own unique project. We will usually meet on the third Saturday of each month from 2-4 pm. This afternoon affair will be held at the Main Library in the Children’s Creative Center on the 2nd Floor. Our next meetings will be February 21, March 21 and April 18.
