If you are in the Dallas - Fort Worth Area and seeking out other Machine Knitters, we urge you to come and join our group.

We hold meetings once a month at the Grapevine Public Library, a stone's throw from DFW International Airport. Meeting time is 10:30 am on the second Saturday of the month. We normally finish up by 1 PM.

We have all levels of knitters in our group from beginning to advanced. All machines are also represented.

Every month we have our program followed by a brief business meeting and  Show and Tell that is bound to inspire you. When you come, bring something that you have knitted to show us. It can be as simple as a swatch up to an entire garment!
