We offer a stitching community you can join from anywhere. Whether you can make it to a London meeting or not.

We're a feisty but friendly knitting group and also an online stitching monster, crashing through the knitting world like a radioactive Godzilla with sticks and string.

Who? Everyone is welcome. Everyone. Members range from 16 to 60 (and beyond). Any class, race, sex, stitching skill (we love crochet just as much), job, or background. Wallflowers, vixens, vikings, mild-mannered librarians, superheroes, goths, grannies. Beginners welcome (we teach for free). Masters welcome (show us something we don't know). Inbetweeners welcome too. Cross stitch, crochet, spinning - we're multi-craft.

How do I join? Sign up to our mailing list to become a proud Stitch Londoner and get free patterns, competitions, exclusive and often unexpected knitting events, crafty news and more cool stuff than you can shake a 3.5mm DPN at.

Where? Join us online or in real life in London. Our central London venues change weekly. It's always somewhere in central London and always near transport home.

What if I can't knit? Do not fear. We'll teach anyone for free. Not just the basics either. Whatever we know, we'll pass on to you. Bring your needles, yarn, evil confusing pattern, or horribly messed up knit, and ask us. Go on. Online tutorial videos coming soon...

Can I help you teach? We'd love you to help. Stitch London's volunteer Stitch Sages get invites to exclusive events and help pass on the love of the knit. Find out more about becoming a Stitch Sage.

When? Newsletters are sent over two weeks and are crammed full of knitting goodness. We also meet every single week at 6pm till late in Central London. Turn up when ever you like. We'll be there.

How much? Not a penny. Stitch London is completely free.

What? Simply put we shove you headfirst into a world of stitching with a sense of humour. We tangle you in knittingness via our newsletter, competitions, interviews, articles, exclusive wonders, blog, Twitter, Ravelry and Facebook.

We also knit in public in London every week. We teach learners for free.

We laugh till it hurts. We fend off the humdrum. We stride purposefully away from the rat race in search of good stitching, good bitching, and whereever possible good cake/wine/tea/coffee/beer/grub . . . you get the idea.

Don't go! I have more questions! See our FAQs here.
