This practical session shares a proven, replicable model for offering knitting programs in libraries using two complementary formats: a structured Introduction to Knitting class and a supportive drop‑in skill‑building session. Attendees will learn how to plan and execute each format—from advanced planning through day‑of facilitation—while welcoming a wide range of skill levels and creating an environment that encourages repeat participation. We’ll also discuss how drop‑in style programming supports skill growth, peer connection, and sustainability over time. Participants will leave with adaptable templates and concrete strategies they can use to launch or refine knitting programs at their own libraries with confidence.
