Chicago Knitters Unite: A social group for knitting, crocheting, and stitching in Chicago.

Chicago Knitters Unite is a social group dedicated to knitting, crocheting, and stitching while enjoying good company and a tasty meal. They meet regularly throughout the city, with a consistent gathering point at Old Irving Brewing Co. located at 4419 W. Montrose Ave. every other Monday night. The group serves as a hub for fiber craft enthusiasts to connect and get inspired by the local maker culture. While Chicago Knitters Unite focuses specifically on these three crafts, the broader community includes other groups like Chi City Craft Club, which hosts workshops and offers day passes at their Uptown studio, and the Windy City Knitting Guild, a guild of over 100 members meeting virtually and in-person for classes and a members-only Discord. Additionally, Chicago Sews brings together sewists monthly for virtual sessions and in-person meetups at various Chicago Public Libraries, such as the Albany Park location, encouraging participants to bring their own projects and materials to sewcialize. These organizations collectively provide opportunities for skill development, social interaction, and project work across the city.
