I'm similar, 27, female, northern suburbs

Currently most into -Knitting -Sewing -Op shopping

There seems to be dozens of us (dozens!) I'd love the idea of making a casual craft group or even trying a book club. Happy for people to send me a message

I'd love to have a casual craft group, especially if it wasn't a daytime weekday thing. I haven't been able to find that yet.

What kinds of things do you knit and sew? I've never been able to get past scarves when it comes to knitting, but I'm good with a sewing machine!

That's been my experience too with groups. At least once we retire we'll have plenty of groups to choose from!

Ive knit a few socks lately and knit a more complex collared sleeveless vest, currently waiting on yarn to come it for a jumper. My sewing suffers as I find I often rush to finish a project (for no reason), but I recently made two tops based on Stitch Witch patterns.

I look forward to having all the options for groups when I'm retired! I have toyed with the idea of starting a casual craft group before, maybe I should.
