History of the GuildIn 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 in Seattle.
Over 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, maintains an extensive lending library and provides monthly informative and social meetings for our membership. The Guild also participates in knitting for our community with various charity projects to Knit It Forward. Board and Officers

Each Board position is held for a minimum of one year, with the term of office beginning October 1st and ending September 30th of the following year. Board members are expected to attend monthly Board meetings (on the Wednesday preceding the monthly meeting), attend Guild meetings (1st Wednesday of the month) and perform the duties of their positions.
