There is a free, drop-in knitting group every Tuesday 9:30–11 AM at Bemis Hall.

The Unruly Stitch opened in Weston recently, another fantastic local yarn store. Thursday nights Unruly Stitch hosts an open knit night 6-8pm. Their yarn selection is very different than Island Yarn in Maynard. It’s great to have two local stores that offer such a wide range of choice across many budget points.

I prefer not going out at night so have never been there.

There is a small group of interesting women from town that meet at the COA from 9:30-11 on Tuesday mornings. I’m very glad to help anyone that comes with questions, mistakes, whatever. It’s totally drop in n, come when you can.

I am also an advanced beginner who is just finishing her first sweater and seeks input/guidance and conversation, and am hoping to find - or start? - a knitting group. There used to be a wonderful store in Belmont called Knittin’ Kitten where women gathered to knit, but she closed during COVID. West Newton also used to have a similar shop, but they too have closed. The only place I’ve found to get answers to my questions is the store in Dedham, but I have been underwhelmed by their inventory of yarns, and as far as I know there is no group that meets there. As for supplies- it seems that going on line is the least expensive approach (yarn.com<http://yarn.com> and others). Michaels and Hobby Lobby and JoAnns Fabric all have knitting supplies, but their supply chains suffer like so many businesses, and they rarely have everything you need (looking for a size 7 needle? Oh, they only have 6 and 8 today….etc) If you really want to invest in getting a full set of supplies and are up for a bit of a trip, by far and away the best place to go is WEBS in Northampton, which calls itself “America’s Yarn Store”. This place is ginormous and has everything you can think of in the way of yarn and supplies. It takes a little over an hour to get there but it is well worth the trip. While we don’t know each other, I’d be delighted to go out there with someone else and explore! My two cents. I’m sure there are others on LincolnTalk who have better advice…..

I have recently rediscovered knitting and am finishing my first jumper. Before I dive into purchasing a whole bunch of knitting supplies for my new hobby, I was wondering if anyone has any they're no longer using or would like to get rid of? Thanks! Jude PS. Also is there someone who would be willing to offer some help and advice with reading patterns in exchange for wonderful conversation? I'm very much self taught and sometimes could use a hand! -- The LincolnTalk mailing list. To post, send mail to Lincoln@lincolntalk.org<mailto:Lincoln@lincolntalk.org>.
