Pioneer Valley Knitting Guild
website!
Spring 2001 news:
I have moved to Boston and will no longer be organizing events for the PVKG. However, there is a new club from Amherst College, a Knitting Guild for Beginners
what to expect:
book reviews, knitting and crochet links, projects and pictures, and of course the latest info on guild meetings and events
Where do i buy yarn around here?
Can't wait until the next meeting?? Visit my favorite Links:
Woolworks.org they have everything here, including free patterns and guild listings (like this one!)
Sock Knitters Everything about knitting socks!
Interweave Knits This is one of the best knitting magazines
Knitters Magazine Here is another great resource, and the Guild was mentioned in the Fall '98 issue!
Vogue Knitting This magazine carries the most stylish sweaters you can knit! I wish it came out more often than 3 times a year - you can also use this site to access its sister publication, Family Circle Knitting
Free Knitting Patterns Looking for that perfect pattern? Collecting and hoarding patterns (like me)? Don't buy a new book until you check out this site listing for the Free Knitting Pattern Webring!
Spin Off Magazine The best resource for spinners

Crochet links:
Crochet at About.com A comprehensive resource for crochet links
Crochet Musings A fun and informative site
Groovy Crochet! This is a MUST SEE website - if you do not crochet now, you just might after seeing this! Contains FREE patterns from the 60's and 70's, even for dogs!
Where to buy yarn:
The Creative Needle
233 North Pleasant Street
(Carriage Shops)
Amherst, MA 01002
413-549-6106
This cute shop is walking distance from the Guild meetings! It is not uncommon for members to stop there first, since they are open sundays. Creative Needle has classes, and also sells supplies for needlework. Check out the great sales!
Northampton Wools
11 Pleasant Street
Northampton, MA 01060
413-586-4331
Right next to the Pleasant Street Theater, this store is deceptively small - yet very well stocked. Northampton Wools is now a Rowan distributor - carrying all yarns and magazines - they can also order anything from Rowan that you might need. Shop also offers classes in all levels of knitting.
