About us
Calling all crafters! If you love working with precious fiber and fabrics and cherishing the bonds formed with fellow crafters, Fiber Friends Studios' Meetup is the perfect place! Join us for an inspiring gathering where you can forge new friendships, enhance your skills, and share your creative ideas. Each Meetup is hosted at a local cafe, where you'll enjoy good food while supporting our community's restaurants and coffee shops. Come stitch, chat, and create lasting memories with us!
Members support local charity projects, including Knitted Knocker, which knits and crochets breast prostheses for women who have undergone mastectomies. During Chicago winters, they "Warm-up Hyde Park" by knitting hats, scarves, and gloves to leave throughout the neighborhood for anyone in need to take. We actively participate in Knit for Foods' annual fund-raising event.

Hygge Shawl KAL Knit Nights
Fiber Friends Studios, 1744 E 55th St, Chicago, IL 60615, USA, Chicago, IL, USWorking on the Hygge Shawl for Malabrigo's KAL? Come work on it here.
We've got a group going on the Hygge Shawl — the three-color Malabrigo Caprino design by Jill Tamminen of Knit Sisu that thousands of knitters cast on September 18. Some of us are ahead, some of us are behind, and one of us has ripped back twice. Come sit with us.Not doing the KAL? Still come. These are our regular open meetups and they always have been — knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, menders, anyone with a project and two hours. No skill level, no sign-up, no obligation to buy anything.
What to bring: whatever you're working on. Or nothing, if you'd rather see what this is before committing to it. That's allowed.
If you're stuck: bring the problem. Color changes, gauge, blocking questions, a dropped stitch you've been avoiding for a week. Symone will be in the room to help solve it
Need dedicated help? We offer one-on-one sessions for $30 an hour, bookable Wednesday through Sunday. Perfectly reasonable to spend one on a shawl.
