While we don't meet in the summer months, there's never been a better time to have a good ol' fashioned yarn crawl. Last year was our fist time doing this and it was a blast. We'll be carpooling and traveling around to our three local yarn shops: Knitty Gritty, Yarn Cupboard, and Oliver's Originals where we get a 10% discount with our guild membership card. We'll hoot and hollar and cause a ruckus, or just quiety shop around for the perfect yarn for our next project. At the end, we'll gather at Brooklyn Pickle and show off our purchases and laugh when we discover our members gravitated toward the same colorways.
The State Fair offers a Knitting Competition and you can also find members of TSoCNY and other guilds at the Wool Barn throughout the fair. To learn more about entering an item in the Fair, click on the link below... and scroll down to the Art & Home Center section.
We hope everyone has an incredible summer, but when it's over, it's time to get back to knitting again. Your guild is ready to welcome you back in September.
Our first meeting will be social. No program. Just time for everyone to chat and show off what they've been working on. We will also show off the finished charity lap blankets you all worked so hard on.
Will be announced soon.
The board of directors will be formulating plans for the 2026-2027 program year. Please contact knittingcentralny@gmail.com if there is a technique or topic that you would like to see addressed!
The festival will be held June 6-7, 2026. The 2026 festival will again be at The Herkimer County Fairgrounds. Just a short 60 min drive from downtown Syracuse, the fairgrounds are accessible, and indoor spaces will be more protected in case of rain. Don't miss it! Learn more at https://cnyfiberarts.org/
OUR GUILD WILL BE HOSTING AN EDUCATIONAL BOOTH! Email knittingcentralny@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering!
