• SML Knitting Circle – weekly meetings on Mondays at noon. This informal group will encourage everyone to learn from each other, but Sudy Bell, an experienced knitter, will be available to provide guidance or show new knitters how to get started. All levels of knitters are welcome. Lately there has been a great deal of renewed interest in this age old craft. Whether you enjoy the act of creating with your own hands, or whether you simply enjoy the camaraderie of being with other knitters, this hobby can bring many rewards. If you are a complete beginner, you might want to check out some of the wonderful knitting books available at the Library.
