Your local knitting guild
Knitspiration of Silicon Valley is a TKGA-affiliated knitting guild for Santa Clara County in the SF Bay area. Our goal is support and encourage one another towards excellence in knitting through education, group discussion, and sharing.
What is a guild?
- a monthly meeting with planned topics related to knitting and fiber arts
- a supportive group of knitters who can cheer you on while you try new skills
- a good place to meet knitters interested in the TKGA Master Knitter program
- eager to learn what you have to teach
2009 Meeting schedule
Our guild meets from 7:30 - 9:00 on the third Monday every
month. As of summer 2009, we do not have a fixed location. If you are new to the guild, please contact us by email (knitspiration -at- gmail -dot- com) to confirm where we will be meeting this month
We hope you will join us for one of our upcoming topics. All knitters are welcome at our monthly meetings. If you decide to join, membership costs a mere $12/year which is used to pay our guest instructors.
