Knit and Natter

Join Putney Library’s Knit and Natter group every Thursday afternoon from 2-4pm. This popular weekly gathering brings together knitters, crocheters, and textile craft enthusiasts for two hours of creative activity and friendly conversation in a relaxed social setting.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter working on intricate patterns, a beginner just learning to cast on, or somewhere in between, you’ll find a warm welcome here. The group is self-directed, meaning members bring their own projects and work at their own pace while enjoying the companionship of fellow crafters.

Knit and Natter offers numerous benefits beyond the crafts themselves: reduce stress and anxiety through the meditative rhythm of needlework, maintain mental agility and fine motor skills, share patterns, techniques, and creative inspiration, make friends and combat social isolation, and contribute to community charity projects when the group organizes them.

The Thursday afternoon timing makes this an ideal mid-week activity, providing a peaceful interlude in busy schedules. Many members appreciate the dedicated time to focus on their craft projects while engaging in the kind of easy, flowing conversation that gives the group its name.

No registration required – simply drop in with your knitting, crochet, or other textile project. Bring your own supplies, patterns, and works-in-progress. Beginners are very welcome; experienced members are always happy to share tips and help troubleshoot.
