Club workshops, online support and community

With your club membership you also get free club workshops! We will meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at 6 pm for free instruction to help you learn the skills for each pattern. Our first meet up will be March 11th at 6 pm. Our free instruction will end promptly at 7 pm, however members are encouraged to stick around in our lounge and knit a long together. By working along with your fellow fibre space™ knitters, you can set a monthly goal to complete the project from that month and encourage each other along the way.

If you don’t live nearby, no worries! We will meet up online in our forum on Ravelry for you to chat, ask questions and post progress photos. We will also post tips and advice for each project in that forum.
