How to Invite Friends to a Knitting Party

Inviting friends to a knitting party is a fun and easy way to get together and finish existing projects. It can also be a good place to start a community project with a group or learn how to knit for the first time.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Invitations
• Addresses
• Maps

1. Decide how many people will be invited to the knitting party. This number will vary depending on the size of the party location.
2. Determine the date, time and location of the knitting party, keeping in mind the amount of time you will need to do a project. Gather together all the addresses and phone numbers of those who will be invited.
3. Shop around for invitations that have space for all of your knitting party information. Homemade invitations can also be made for little money. Include a map or directions to the party for those who are unfamiliar with the area.
4. Send invitations. Do this at least 2 1/2 to 3 weeks prior to the party; this leaves plenty of time for people to respond, or R.S.V.P. Make follow up calls one week before the event to those who did not respond.
5. Ask invitees to bring along any items they're willing to share or trade with other guests, including needles, yarn, patterns or other reference materials for your guests.
6. Suggest a theme for guests to work on together. For example, have knitters create beautiful scarves that the group can later distribute to a battered women's shelter or snuggly blankets to be donated to an orphanage.

Tips & Warnings

• If needed, include in the invitation a list of supplies each person should bring with them.
• Invitations can be personalized for a knitting party by simply adding a bow made out of yarn.
