You could start a group there. We have one at our local library & our meetings are in their newsletter. We are a knitting/crochet/cross-stitch group & we also teach anyone wanting to learn any of these.

I take my projects everywhere.

I live in a very rural area and would LOVE to meet other crocheters/knitters/seamstresses/stained glass workers/artists/… that list goes on and on.  So you can see how let down I am to have missed this.

I crochet in public all the time but I have a rather long flight coming up and I know it’s going to seem less tiresome with some handiwork.

King Mystery and crochetting for an afghan.  Officially this group has been around for several years and have all brought knitting to the attention of the public.  We will be thinking of all the knitters in the world and enjoying the wonderful weather and our friendships which have developed while we knit.  Wish you all could be here.
