This Month's Focus: Intro to Knitting with Sarah Best
Stitch Club (formerly Youth Maker Meetup) returns to the Textile Arts Center this fall! Middle schoolers and high schoolers meet up at TAC to stitch.
Bring your own project to work on, or learn a new skill. This month’s focus is an Introduction to Knitting with Sarah Best.
Sarah will show participants basic knitting stitches. Knitting needles and yarn will be provided. If you’re already a knitter, bring your current project. Sarah can offer guidance and help you develop your creative ideas.
If you want to bring another project to work on, supplies available to use at TAC include sewing machines, thread, scissors, cutting mats, irons, ironing boards, and access to our Little Free Scrap Library.
Registration is required.
