Knit & Natter

Knit & Natter meets at St Albans Library on Friday 8 January, starting at 14:00. It's an informal group, so the format is straightforward: you bring along your own knitting, crochet or other portable craft project and work on it while you chat. All experience levels are welcome, so it's as much for someone just starting out as it is for someone who's been at it for years.

The library is the city's central public library, and you'll find the group on the second floor of The Maltings. It's a hub for community activity, hosting library sessions, advice workshops and a CreatorSpace for local groups, alongside a range of activities aimed at older people, families and residents. Knit & Natter is one of those, a regular spot to get some making done in company rather than on your own at home.

Because it's an informal get-together, there's no set programme or lesson to follow. You just bring whatever you're working on — a half-finished jumper, a new crochet project, or anything else you can carry in and out — and settle in. It's a donation-based session, so you can contribute what you like. The group meets at 14:00 on 8 January at St Albans Library, Level 2 of The Maltings, AL1 3JQ.
