Madison Knitters' Guild

Inviting all knitters to join us on the 2nd Monday of the month, September to May. Currently hybrid~ Members include all skill levels, from beginner to expert.

The Guild, likely the first in the nation, was founded by Dorothy Camper and Joan Dunn in 1981 to promote interest, appreciation, and skill in knitting. It was a small, but steadily growing group until the late 1980s when membership grew to almost 100. Today we have a membership of over 550, and a number of the founding members are still with us! The Guild meets second Monday of the month, Septemb

er through May. Monthly meetings include nationally recognized designers, authors, and teachers speaking about knitting related topics. We have local vendors at each meeting, and members share their finished obects during Show and Tell. A great member benefit is access to a Library which features magazines, books and audiovisual materials, all available for checkout. The Library and a Knit Aid Station opens at 5 pm before each meeting for anyone who needs help with knitting projects. The Guild has a strong commitment to the Madison community and regularly contributes to area shelters, schools, hospitals, and other charitable organizations.

Your Special Events Committee at work!! Every month we meet in person to discuss and plan things like the winter retreat, upcoming guild trips, social knitting events, and so much more!! Our organization is volunteer-run, and we love to have new and returning members alike helping out with running the day to day. Whether you have a few hours a year to spare or a few hours a month, we’d love to talk to you about the greatest needs in our guild and where we could use more volunteers. For now, give us a ❤️ and say thanks to your amazing special events committee!

My first visit to !! I was in Lancaster for court so I just continued to drive north for some sweater yarn!

We had a fantastic turnout for our first Knit-a-long meeting of the year!! We had over 30 Guild members join us to kick off a year of sweater knitting. You can join us as a Guild member and come to our future gatherings! You can knit any sweater you want, and we’re encouraging folks to try some stranded knitting this year! We took measurements today and got to know each other.. but you can join us even if you were not able to make it today, and even if you are a new Guild member!

We had such a great time at “Ph.D.” Knitting today! (Projects Half-Done.) We had several new members to the guild join us, and new friendships were forged. For these kinds of gatherings, we utilize free library space in Madison and in surrounding towns. We enjoyed several hours of relaxing knitting time together and also enjoyed the beginning of the rain! See you next month!

We had such a fantastic time at The Cider Farm tonight! Wonderful food and drinks, and so much fellowship and knitting. If you are not already a member of the Madison Knitters’ Guild, please join us! We are enjoying so many special events this past year, and this is just the beginning.
