Join us for BPL's fiber arts social hour. We encourage attendance from knitters, crocheters and fiber artists of all levels, both experienced and aspiring. If you are interested in being a part of this ongoing group, we hope you'll stop in. If you’re an experienced knitter or fiber artist, bring your current project. If you’re a beginner, bring any tools you may have, and we’ll provide instructions and yarn to get you started.

This will not be a formal class in knitting or crocheting, however there will be experienced a few crafters on site to assist, talk you through the process, and recommend resources.
