Two crochet hooks laid over a pile of colourful yarn

Sit 'n' Knit is a fortnightly sewing and craft group for thread-heads of all skill levels and ages. Bring along an existing project, some needles and some yarn, or use our basket of goodies.​

Meet and chat with other crafters, share your WIP, lament about your piles of half-finished projects, and learn new tips and tricks.
