What we’re about
We're a group of enthusiastic knitters and crocheters. Some of us are brand new to the hobby and others of us are seasoned veterans. We welcome new members of any age, gender or ability! In fact, we intermediate and advanced knitters and crocheters are more than delighted to help out those getting started.
Our Meetups are pretty simple. We sit around, talk, work on whatever we've brought that day and usually munch on something. We've got more Meetups than you can shake a stick at. Click the Calendar link http://www.meetup.com/austinknitting/calendar/ and find one that meets your needs!

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- The Yarn Basket MeetUpKnit ATX, Austin , TX
Welcome to The Yarn Basket! All yarn and fiber related crafters at any level are welcome to join us each week (or at whatever cadence works for your schedule) for a relaxing start to your weekend. Bring any current works in progress, recently finished projects you'd like to show off, or any projects that you may want a bit of help on - We'd love to help where we can!'
Facebook Group: The Yarn Basket - Austin
Discord Chat: https://discord.gg/XDJ4jTBXQ7Where: We alternate our knitting spots between South and North Austin. Keep an eye on the location announcement in event title. Meeting places are sometimes decided late in the week.
What is "The Yarn Basket?": I don't know about you, but my personal yarn basket often has a wide variety of textures, colors, fibers, yardage, etc. My goal is to grow a group just like that basket - full of people with different styles and personalities - while nurturing an environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. We are BIPOC and LBGTQIA+ inclusive and welcome anyone at any level of yarn/fiber craft to join us. In the future, I plan on having various event themes such as yarn swaps, project themes, related book discussions, and skill theme days (i.e. sock making!).
