Local albany knitting groups

There are several local knitting groups that meet regularly in our area. If you would like to learn to knit or crochet consider attending a meeting.

The Delaware Avenue Branch of the Albany Public Library “Stitch Angels”, Friday afternoons from 12:30-2:30. Most are knitters (and there's a wide range of experience) and a few are crocheters. The ladies are friendly and very welcoming. Many of them volunteer at Up-Stitch. The group leader, Jody, is willing to give a beginner lesson to anyone interested in learning. Their focus is charity knitting.
