Meetings are free. After attending a few meetings, we ask participants to join the Crochet Guild of America which costs $35/year but comes with many many benefits. We don't police membership.
The weekend meetings are generously sponsored by Mary Ann and Ed Barrall who own the Knitting Room, a yarn shop in San Jose . A membership in our chapter gives you the advantage of getting a 10% discount on any purchases at the Knitting Room . Lessons and help are always free when materials are purchased at the shop plus they have a good collection of current knit and crochet patterns. The Knitting Room is located at 1195 Branham across from Orchard Supply ,San Jose, CA , 95118. The phone number is 408-264-7229, and the shop's email addy is knitroom@aol.com .
Bring your works in progress (WIPS) , a project you're having a problem with, or any project you might like to "show off". We crochet during the meetings. Demonstrations are usually scheduled for each meeting so check our Events and Schedules page for any other materials you should bring.
Holidays or other events sometimes dictate an alternate meeting day , place, or time. Please check our Events and Schedules for the next meeting .
