The Butler County Knitters and Crocheters meet at the Butler County Library each Monday at 11 am until noon.  It is a walk-in type group. Just come on in if you are interested or just want to visit. We have teachers for many types of knitting and crocheting and embroidery, a little sewing (advice mainly). Needlepoint, felting, temari, cross-stitch on cardstock for gift tags, tatting (we are looking for a teacher), and we are talking about trying rug hooking cutting our own strips of wool.  We will try just about anything a person can think up.
