WHO WE ARE:
We are knitters sharing our love and passion for knitting, knit design, and crocheting.
We are women (but also men ! ), ranging in age from our 20s to 80s;
We are a mix of beginners, advanced knitters, and "blue-ribbon" winners, and we love to share !
We are like family - we are traditional, adventurous, and often like to "break the rules". We love knitting and hope you do too.
Our members primarily live in the Portland, Oregon (and surrounding) area including: North, Central, and East Portland (including Sellwood); Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Milwaukie, Newberg, Carlton, Forest Grove, Canby, Woodburn, and more. We also have members in Montana, Florida, and Arizona who support us and visit us from time to time.
Our Mission:
"To encourage and support the ongoing development of skills and creativity in knitting by providing fellowship and education opportunities".
Membership includes a monthly newsletter, access to members' Retreats (Fall 2006 with Nancy Bush); summer stash sale; special guild workshops, and reduced Shop Hop Fees. Membership dues help to cover newsletter production and distribution, as well as monthly program and retreat speakers' fees.
