How To Start A Knitting Group

1. Step 1: Location

   Choose a location that is central to make it easy for people to attend your group.

2. Step 2: Venue

   Choose a venue that has enough seats to accommodate a varying number of people for a varying amount of time. Knitting shops make good venues for knitting groups as do bars and cafes.
   
   Make sure your venue has good lights. This will allow your knitting group to feel comfortable while still being able to see their work.

3. Step 3: Date

   Make sure you choose the right night of the week, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually good nights. Choose one of these nights and stick to the same night each week.

4. Step 4: Communication

   Communication is central to starting a knitting group. As well as putting messages in the venue window, set up an email account that makes it easy to contact everyone about your group at the same time.
   
   Prepare a form for people that wish to be contacted by email. Remember to tell everyone the date, time and place that the group meets and keep them regularly informed.

5. Step 5: Attend

   Attend your knitting group and enjoy a warm feeling of satisfaction andpride while knitting your favourite pieces and making new friends.
