Welcome!

Groups and shops are listed as a courtesy. This is not an endorsement of their goods or services. If you are visiting Washington, feel free to email me for suggestions. I am especially fond of the metro-accessible shops. For more online resources, check out Crafty Resources



 

We have an email group at Yahoo Groups called Knitting-N-The-City. E-mail Carol at dcknitters@comcast.net to be added to the list.
