Madison Crochet, Knitting, and Yarn Crafts Group

Greetings!

We've got a new location this week; Forage Kitchen in Hilldale! It is located in the middle of Hilldale (in the cut-through section near Hollander), and serves healthy delicious grain bowls and salads.

So come and join us if you'd like, just bring something to work on and your best social human impression!

Yes! Yes! It's the ghost of all those intentions to pick up knitting or crochet that died! It's the flaunting haunting of that daunting stack of Woobles you've been wanting to start! It's the ghostly chill of remembering your old fiber hobby creeping down your back!

Or...it's just a normal Beginner's Workshop that happens to be the week before Halloween, you say po-tay-to...

Anyway, if you've ever been interested in learning to knit or crochet, then this is the meetup for you! We're able to get you started on the basics of knitting or crochet, to help refresh your memory because you'd like to take it up again, or possibly even to aid in trouble-shooting issues that have come up while you're learning on your own.

We're also a great way to meet fun new people, with at least some shared interests in fiber crafts!

All we ask of new yarn crafters is that you bring your own materials. If you have something already, you're all set, but if you're not sure where to start, then I recommend worsted weight yarn (the "normal" weight), and then either size 7 bamboo/wood needles for knitting, or an H hook for crocheting. If you'd like to bring a project/pattern you're aiming for, we can help get you started on that as well.

This is also a regular meet-up, so if you just want to come and work on a thing, we're not going to force you to learn (or to teach). You can just come and work and socialize as normal.

Or, if you'd like to learn, but you can't make this meetup, you can come to any of the regular meetups, just leave a little note in the comments for that one, so we can make sure someone is prepared to teach.
