- Who it’s for: parents, grandparents, caregivers and community members who enjoy knitting and craft.
- What to bring: your current project, needles, and any yarn you’d like to work with or donate.
This knitting group meets twice a month, every second and fourth Friday from 10:00 to 12:00, starting from 13 February 2026. Sessions are free and designed to fit into a school-run morning or a weekend substitute.
Sessions are informal and drop-in friendly, though regulars often return each month to continue projects and share progress. The group provides a steady routine for parents wanting a reliable creative outlet.
If you have spare, good-quality wool to donate, the library accepts contributions and can be contacted for details. The group encourages sharing patterns and tips, making it a helpful resource for craft-minded families.
Expect a warm community vibe, practical knitting help, and useful recommendations for easy patterns suitable for children's clothes and gifts.
Meet at Riverwood Library and Knowledge Centre, Riverwood 2210 — a familiar spot for local families and easy to reach by car or public transport. The library location is central to the suburb and often has parking nearby.
The library is an accessible community space with accessible toilets and facilities, so parents with buggies or mobility needs should find the venue convenient. Check local transport times to plan school drop-offs or pick-ups.
Maps and directions are available via the City of Canterbury Bankstown website or by calling the library if you need help locating the room where the knitting group meets. The library team are usually happy to advise on access and parking.
If you’re coming with children, the library has other family resources and events you might browse while you knit, combining practical errands with a creative break.
Sessions are free but places can fill with regular attendees, so arriving a little early is recommended if you want a guaranteed spot. The group welcomes all levels and offers patient, peer-to-peer help rather than formal instruction.
Bring your own needles and yarn; the library sometimes has donated supplies but quantities are limited. If you have good wool to donate, contact the library to arrange drop-off or bring it along to a session.
For any questions about the group or to confirm a session is running on a particular date, call Riverwood Library and Knowledge Centre. The library may adjust sessions for public holidays or special events.
Please be mindful of noise around library spaces and keep mobile devices on quiet to maintain a pleasant environment for all visitors.
The knitting group is free to attend and operates on a drop-in basis, so no formal booking is required for most sessions. Free entry makes it an easy option for parents balancing school runs and other commitments.
If you plan to bring a group or coordinate a donation of yarn, contacting the library in advance helps staff prepare and manage space. Donations are welcomed and support future craft sessions for families.
There are no hidden fees, but consider contributing yarn or small donations to support community resources if you can. The free nature of the sessions keeps creative activities accessible to all local families.
For up-to-date details on dates and any changes to the timetable, call the library or check the City of Canterbury Bankstown events page before heading out.
