NORTH ADAMS – It’s fall, and people are beginning to think about winter crafts and holiday gifts. The North Adams Public Library Monday Handcrafts Circle and Thursday Knitting Circle will resume next week, Sept. 22 and 25 respectively, and welcome all to drop in whenever they can.
The Handcrafts Circle began as a knitting and crochet group several years ago, but recently expanded to include any needlecraft that is portable enough to bring to the library, such as needlepoint, counted cross-stitch, and Tamari Balls. The group gathers any time after 6 p.m. on Monday evenings in the library’s main parlor for conversation and craft working.
The Knitting Circle meets on Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. in the main parlor. This group focuses on knitting and crochet, sharing techniques and patterns as well as friendly conversation.
Both groups, which welcome drop-ins, wrap up the evening around 7:30 p.m. Both beginners and highly experienced craft people are invited to participate.
