Where? While the Modesto Library is closed for renovation (2025-2026), we’re meeting in the Community Room of the Salida Library. For address and directions, go to Library Locations and select Salida. Note: This is our last meeting at the Salida Library. While it’s been a great, spacious facility to meet in for two years, we’re happy to be planning a return to Modesto in January.
When? Our volunteer-run program meets on the second Tuesday of each month from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. We post our meetings on the Friends of the Modesto Library calendar and on the Stanislaus County Library’s calendar with Salida’s other events. When we return to Modesto, we will meet at the same time, but on the first Mondays of each month.
Do you already knit or crochet? Come join this friendly group that’s been making yarn art for the Modesto Library since March 2021. Work on your own piece–or contribute to our current project–while socializing, trading hints, and making friends. Beginners to experts are welcome. No registration required.
Do you want to learn to knit or crochet? We have instructors available to get you started either knitting or crocheting. If you’re a novice, please complete this registration form so we’ll know to expect you. Bring supplies if you have them, but we’ll have a small supply of materials on hand.
May children attend? This program was designed for adults, but we understand younger people enjoy yarn arts, too. Those age 12+ may attend, but we ask that an adult accompany them and share the learning experience.
What project is the group working on now? If you’d like to use your knitting and crocheting skills in support of the unhoused or otherwise disadvantaged in our community, please make some adult size hats, scarves, or mittens this fall. We’ll get them to a local organization that can distribute them to individuals in need of some warmth this winter. We can never have too many. Email me at membership@modestolibraryfriends.org if you need any yarn.
