Thank you for choosing Knitty City for your knitting and crochet needs.
We strive to provide the best service New York's Upper West Side has to offer.
With care and caution, we've made the difficult decision to CANCEL our WWKIP Day gathering.
A large protest is expected to begin near Bryant Park around the same time, and we’re concerned about the potential impact on safety and accessibility.
This event is all about coming together as a community, and your well-being is our highest priority. While we’re disappointed not to gather in person, we appreciate your understanding and support.
We'll still be teaching beginner knitting on Wednesdays 1:30-3:30pm through the rest of summer. We hope we'll be able to knit together with you there!
The Animals and Habitats wrap was recently taken down so the willow oak tree could get some much needed TLC, but don't worry, we already have another wrap in the works.
Community Artist Carmen Paulino will be assembling a new wrap for us with your help. The new wrap's theme is "All You Knit is Love." We'll be collecting squares (at least 1 foot x 1 foot) inspired by love to spread positivity. Knit or crochet anything that shows what love means to you.
Please use acryllic or any yarn that will be able to withstand the elements. We're aiming to have the wrap up in July or August, so please bring in your finished squares before then.
Pop-up shops at Knitty City are an opportunity for entrepreneurial individuals to have a space to show and sell their products.
We will feature a different small business in front of Knitty City on Saturdays. Please stop by, check out what they have to offer, and ask them about what they do.
20% of all pop-up sales are donated to non-profit organizations. This season, we're giving 20% to Moms Demand Action

Help us welcome Lili Loops at her first pop-up shop at Knitty City. Lisa is a NYC based handdyer. All of her colorways were inspired by the album covers of her husband's vinyl collection from his days as a DJ. Music lovers, this one's for you.

Wednesdays, 6-8pm at Knitty City after hours
Bring one of your many Works in Progress and hangout and meet fellow crafters in the store after hours. There's no teaching after dark, but we'll keep the register open if you need to pick up any supplies.
Every Thursday EXCEPT the first Thursday of each month (Book Club Thursdays)
Meets in store, 6-8pm
We're bringing back in-store events, starting with a soft-opening of our weekly Men's Night on Thursdays. Bring your knitting, crochet, or spinning and join us for a casual after hours hangout at Knitty City. No reservations necessary.
Fridays, 5-6pm in front of Knitty City
Do you have a pile of clothes you've been meaning to fix? Why not sew on that button or patch that hole in the company of other makers and menders? Come to Mending Circle, where we will gather, share ideas about repair, extend the lives of our garments, and hopefully make a dent in that pile!
Mending Circle is intended as an informal time and space to connect over our projects. It is not an instructional class or a repair service. Please bring your own materials. There is no charge to participate, but any donations will go to Fashion Revolution, an nonprofit organization fighting for "a global fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit."
Book Club meetings are held at Knitty City on the first Thursday of each month.
The Knitty City Book Club is unable to accept new members at this time.
If you are interested in being on a waiting list, please use the Google Group link below.

The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.
Check back later for more scheduled meetings.
