Enjoy a friendly, fortnightly knitting group at Campsie Library where parents and craft-lovers gather to stitch, chat and share ideas. This welcoming space suits middle-aged parents of school-aged children who want a calm morning out and a chance to develop craft skills and meet local neighbours.
You will find a relaxed atmosphere with experienced and beginner knitters sitting together, exchanging tips and showing patterns. The session is social first and crafty second, perfect for parents who enjoy gentle conversation while working on a project.
Sessions typically attract a mix of ages and abilities; expect helpful advice on stitch techniques, pattern reading and simple repairs. The group encourages sharing of wool and resources, and there are occasional suggestions for donating good wool to local projects.
Bring your current knitting or crochet project, or come along to learn the basics — needles, yarn and friendly encouragement are the order of the day. If you prefer, just come to chat and get inspiration for your next DIY craft project.
Fortnightly on Tuesdays, the group meets from 10:30 to 12:30 at Campsie Library and Knowledge Centre. The sessions are free and suitable for adults; parents often coordinate school drop-offs to join in for a relaxed mid-morning activity.
Items to consider bringing:
- Knitting needles and yarn
- Current project or pattern notes
- A basic darning needle and scissors
The group welcomes donations of good quality wool for community projects. If you have yarn to donate, please phone the library for details, or bring it along to a session to pass on to others in the knitting community.
The group meets at Campsie Library and Knowledge Centre, centrally located in Campsie and easy to reach by public transport. The library has accessible toilet facilities and nearby parking, making it convenient for parents with children.
Participants can use the library resources before or after the session, including borrowing craft books and pattern guides. The comfortable seating areas and community tables make it simple to spread out your work and share tools with others.
If you need assistance finding the library or confirming accessibility features, contact the main library number shown on the council site. Local parents often carpool or combine the visit with school drop-off routines for convenience.
Sessions are family-friendly but aimed at adults; they are not supervised childcare. Parents should make separate arrangements for children if required, or use the activity as a quiet mid-morning break while children are at school.
The group is free to attend but space can vary — arriving a little early helps secure a seat. The library occasionally updates session dates, so check the council or library pages for the latest schedule before travelling.
If you have good wool to donate, please phone the library to confirm how to drop it off. The group relies on community generosity for some shared projects, so donations are appreciated and help local craft initiatives.
This is a free community knitting group run through Campsie Library and Knowledge Centre, so there is no fee to participate. No formal booking is usually required; just turn up on the scheduled Tuesday mornings.
For specific dates, cancellations or to confirm fortnightly sessions, call the library directly or view the library events page. Regular attendees sometimes sign up to mailing lists or library updates to receive reminders about craft events and workshops.
The sessions are an easy, low-cost way to enjoy craft, meet new people and practice knitting skills — ideal for parents seeking a creative and social outlet in the school week.
