About Us

 
In 1985 the knitting scene in Seattle was sparse. In response to an article that appeared in Vogue Knitting urging formation of local chapters of The Knitting Guild of America, a group of knitters met regularly at Tinctoria on Stone Way. From that initial core group the Seattle Knitters Guild has grown into an organization with over 200 members.

Nearly twenty-five years later, the Guild continues to provide a supportive environment for knitters. Through a network of enthusiastic volunteers, it presents programs that stimulate the imagination and enhance knitting skills. The Guild publishes a monthly newsletter and maintains an extensive lending library for its membership. Some Guild members are also involved in educational and philanthropic projects within the greater Seattle area.
