What is a knitting guild anyway?
A knitting guild is a group of knitters who gather to enjoy
knitting programs, bring in skilled instructors, share their triumphs and mistakes, and enjoy the craft of knitting. Most guilds, like ours, also perform community service projects, such as knitting chemo caps. Many guilds, also like ours, are associated with a larger organization such as TKGA, The Knitting Guild Association.
