Knit, Natter and Stitch

Knit, Natter and Stitch is back at Central Library on Tuesday 3 November, and it's not just a one-off. The group meets every Tuesday throughout November and December, and then again in early January, so it's more of a regular fixture than a single date. If you're into any kind of stitching, it's a good excuse to get out of the house and work on your project in company rather than on your own.

The name says it all: it's a drop-in for knitting, crochet and stitching. The group welcomes adults who are already knitters and stitchers, and they're open to projects from any 'stitching' craft, so that covers knitting, crochet and cross-stitch. It's not a tuition session, which means there's no set lesson or formal class to follow. Because of that, it works for beginners and experts alike — you just bring whatever you're working on and settle in. And if you're coming along with someone, carers or companions are welcome to join you.

It's a drop-in, so you don't have to commit to every single date. The sessions run on Tuesday 3, 10, 17 and 24 November, then 1, 8, 15 and 22 December, and finally 29 December and 5 January 2027. Each one runs from 1.00pm to 3.00pm. If you can only make one or two, that's fine; if you want to make a habit of it, there are plenty of dates to choose from. The group also runs Knit and Natter sessions at other libraries across the area, so if Central isn't the easiest spot for you, there are other options.

Everything happens in the foyer of Central Library, at 555 Silbury Boulevard, Central Milton Keynes MK9 3HL. Admission is free, and each session runs from 1.00pm to 3.00pm.
