Where? While the Modesto Library is closed for renovation (2025-2026), we’ll be meeting in the Community Room of the Salida Library. For address and directions, go to Library Locations and select Salida.

When? Our volunteer-run program will meet on the second Tuesday of each month from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. We’ll post our  meetings on the Friends of the Modesto Library calendar and on the Stanislaus County Library’s calendar with Salida’s other events.

Do you already knit or crochet? Come join this friendly group that’s been making yarn art for the Modesto Library since March 2021. (Woo hoo! We just celebrated our 4-year anniversary!) 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? Most months 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.

Can 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? This spring, we’ll be designing and making a display tied to the theme of the library’s 2025 summer reading program–Level Up Your Reading. We’ll document our work as it progresses on Instagram.
