Kids Knit and Crochet group is for kids of all skill levels and all ages. If you've never picked up yarn or if you are an advanced crafter join us the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM.

At each monthly meeting beginners are introduced to a simple project to assist them in learning basic stitches while creating a finished project. Projects and some basic supplies are available for both knitters and crocheters to get you started.

The kids group is led by an adult and meets in conjunction with the adult knit and crochet group. Parents or grandparents are welcome to join us.
