The Knitting Group is a social learning group, and we welcome anyone who enjoys working with yarn. Members are happy to share ideas and skills, and while there is no direct teaching programme we are all learning from each other.
The group meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, from 2pm - 4pm, in the Clarice Pears building, which is on Byres Road at University Place. The reception staff will know the room details.
Teas and coffees are available in the building, and you may also bring in drinks from elsewhere.
(We use a Whatsapp group to communicate.)
