Purl’s Calendar of Events

**Masks supported if desired, but not required. We have multiple air filtration devices in our space to help with air flow.

Free IN-PERSON open stitch group to Purl’s community of stitchers. Join our Stitch Group and socialize with other stitchers. Bring your knit or crochet project to work on as you talk. Or just spend some time checking in with your stitching buddies (new, old, or inbetween!). This is not a time to get formal help, but rather a time to socialize, enjoy each other’s company and see what each other are making.

Bring something to craft on (crochet, knitting, spinning, mending, needle felting, drawing, etc.) as we gather to do handwork together and enjoy one another’s company mid-week. Finding community for both laughing and raging are essential right now. You are welcome to bring your dinner and eat while you are here (Ingles nearby if need to pickup something). Sometimes we have snacks to share (but not always).

Learn to cast on and knit! Some may also learn to purl depending on comfort level with material. Also a great refresher session for those returning to knitting after a long time.

Skill building continued for knitting flat with session 2 (Beginning Knitting 2 of 2) which usually takes place on following Saturday.

***For those joining us virtually, find direct Zoom link here or if need more details, find here.

Masks no longer required but supported. 

When in person: Store is closed during Nerd nights. Folks are welcome to bring snacks to share and/or their own treats or dinner. Luckily Ingles is nearby for quick treat-getting. We usually lock the door once we start stuff so try to arrive on time or give us a heads up via text, phone, or email that you are coming but might be late.

Bring a project to work on (but keep it easy since you might get distracted)
