We are an established group that is looking for some new members. We welcome all varieties of crafters, including knitters and crocheters. Join us every other week to practice your craft, eat some yummy food, and/or generally socialize. NOTE: Beginners are welcome, but it is recommended that you know the basics before attending (for knitting: casting on, knit, and purl; and for crocheting: chaining and single crochet). For a list of learning resources, please see the end of the meeting description.
For more info, you can follow us on Ravelry at ravelry.com/groups/stitchin-queens, or “like” our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/stitchin.queens. To be added to the mailing list, email danielleb726@gmail.com. Meeting starts at 6:30 and usually lasts until 8:30/9:00.
If you do plan to attend, please RSVP at danielleb726@gmail.com, so I can alert you if there are any last minute changes.
Hope to see you there!
