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.
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.
Update: Stitch n Pitch tickets are sold out!400 seats were reserved for attendees - that's more than double 2024's attendance record of 190. At this time, the organizers do not have plans for reserving more seats, but they will prepare for a strong showing at 2026's game.
Come out to Citi Field on June 11th and join fellow knitters, crocheters, and yarncrafters in the stands to cheer on the New York Mets as they take on the Washington Nationals! This year, choose between the Promenade Baseline or Promenade Reserve sections. Make sure to bring a project to work on!
KFI will provide yarn for fans who purchase through this offer. Pick up your yarn (while supplies last) by bringing your ticket to the Stitch ‘n Pitch table outside section 502 during the first 3 innings of the game.

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.

Lorraine Hansberry, who died at thirty-four, was by all accounts a force of nature. Although best-known for her work, A Raisin in the Sun, her short life was full of extraordinary experiences and achievements, and she had an unflinching commitment to social justice, which brought her under FBI surveillance when she was barely in her twenties.

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.
