Knitting Artists of Northern Virginia

The Guild was founded in 1985 and welcomes knitters of all experience levels. KANV's mission is to promote and share knowledge of the art of knitting, which it does through outreach, education and support of current and potential knitters.

Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 730 pm at the Packard Center, with guest speakers and variety of programs. New members are always welcome. The Knitting Artists also have a casual drop-in meeting on the first Saturday of the month, from 930 a.m-12 noon.

Member benefits include a monthly newsletter, discounts at participating local yarn shops, and use of the guild's library of books and patterns. At least once a year, a nationally recognized teacher from outside the Washington metro area provides a special weekend program for the guild.
