A tight "knit" community


This one's for all you crafty people. If you're interested in finding some like minded individuals to hang out with, City Knitting might just be the place to go. Here's a taste of their website for you -

"Located in the heart of Grand Rapids in the Eastown business district, City Knitting is open to serve knitters in central Grand Rapids and beyond. We offer fine yarn, tools, books, buttons, patterns and notions from around the globe. Anyone who knits, spins or crochets is welcome. Come in for a visit. Find your place in the comfy seating area that’s waiting for you. Create, relax."


Yes, that's right you can bring your projects in and just find a place to sit and start creating. I was surprised to see that people actually do this. It was my first experience with such a place. There was a wide range of ages of people there. You never know who might be sitting next to you. They have some fun opportunities that I'd like to share with you too.


Every Tuesday and Thursday is Knitting night and they're open until 9pm. FREE

Every third and fifth Monday from 7:30-9:30 is Spinning night. FREE

They also have classes available that range in cost from $15-90.
And last but not least - April 18th @ 7pm they will be hosting a Late Night Yarnie Party. (L.N.Y.P) All you need to do is bring a chair and some food or drink to share. This party goes until midnight!
