All types of knitters, crocheters, and fiber crafters are welcome! ******This is \*****not\** ***a class.******** **The cafe has a focused menu of beverages, including tea, coffee, beer, wine, and cocktails, and a small selection of pastries.** **Please note you must make a purchase in order to enter the cafe. The staff is wonderful and welcoming!** **NOTE a change in the way you sign up. Historically we have had too many who sign up and not show up. In order to accommodate all who intend to participate your $3.00 payment must be made to reserve your space. Those who do not will be relieved from the attendee column and a waitlist paying participant will be moved up. Venmo @Anouche-Mardirossian.** **(BTW if you are new to the group and wondering why there is a small registration fee, it's to help offset the fees MeetUp charges event organizers to use their website. It does not go towards food & drink purchases. Nor my own wallet :).**
