Upcoming knitting activities at West End Branch Library
The West End Branch of the Boston Public Library will offer ‘Learn to Knit with Knitly!’ on Fridays, Jan. 10, 17, 24, and 31 from 10-11 a.m. (Registration is for one session.)
Have you been curious about learning how to knit? Join instructors from Knitly for a fun, social experience, where you will learn how to knit a garter stitch cowl. Materials, including a yarn buffet, are available for participants. No prior experience is necessary.
Registration is required for this event as seats are limited; contact Wesley Fiorentino, generalist librarian, via email at [email protected] or by calling 617-523-3957.
The library will also offer ‘Knitting and Fiber Crafts Clinic with Knitly’ on Fridays from Jan. 10-31 from 11 a.m. to noon.
Did you know that knitting has been shown to lower stress levels and blood pressure as much as yoga and meditation? Drop in for knitting help, socializing, and a discussion on the fiber arts. Each session will feature a different knitting-focused discussion. Bring any project you’re working on, or get inspired by the provided materials. No prior experience is necessary.
Registration is required for this event as seats are limited; contact Wesley Fiorentino, generalist librarian, via email at [email protected] or by calling 617-523-3957.
