As we noted almost three years ago, this group is all about making history fun, nothing like those boring school clases. Our plan is simple: invite history authors to join us, meet and share historical documents, photos or film, hike and walkabout, and swap yarns and tales and our own history plans. At various shows we have presented for schools, community centers and groups over the past 18 years all over Washington, people who have attended have asked if we could meet on a regular basis to sha …

This group is open to knitters of all levels, though we try to put an emphasis on learning new skills and helping new knitters get started. If you are True Newbie looking for the support to get past that first row (or to remember how to cast-on), this is definitely the group for you! If you are an experienced knitter just looking for fellow yarn-aholics and maybe inspiration to try something new, you have found the right group. Not new to knitting, but new to Seattle? You will definitely find fr …

It is human to tell the story of our day, of the great hunt or battle, of stocks won or lost, children doing silly things and relationship gone awry. It is how we shake off the turmoil of daily life an …

I started this group to get together with others once a week in Olympia to crochet or knit and enjoy coffee/tea/cider/cocoa...cupcakes! There are some other nice groups a bit farther away but I thought it would be great to start a group for the local Olympia, Tumwater, and Lacey area. I'm a beginner at crocheting but learning more all the time. All levels welcome, whether you're into knitting, crocheting, looms, or other crafts. We have two meetup locations: *OLY Bonjour Cupcakes, in downtown Ol …

Former Dupont Knitters are welcome to join us or I suggest the Olympia group as another alternative:  Oly Yarncraft In rural Pierce County, most other crafting groups are at inconveniet distances, locations, or times.  I hope this group will prove convenient for the Mountain Highway/Highway 7 corridor.  I am looking for interested crafters of any type , but especially knitting. I hope the group will provide assistance to all levels of crafters and that those with expertise will share it. While m …
