Sip and Stitch
About
A free Friday-night social stitching session at The Nifty Knitter for anyone working on knitting or crochet who wants company while they make. It happens every Friday, 6–9pm, at 317 NW Gilman Blvd in Issaquah, about a 15-minute walk from Issaquah Transit Center (Sound Transit 554). Admission is free; the shop also hosts a free Tuesday-morning Tuesday Tea.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
