We’re a group of machine knitters in Central Texas dedicated to helping other knitters, learning more about our craft, and doing charity knitting projects. Knit Natters is volunteer-operated club, We meet monthly at Crystal Lake Baptist Church, usually on the 4th Saturday. We love to help beginners. To join, go to knitnatters.groups.io.

There are a wide variety of knitting machines in home use. We can create beautiful afghans in just a couple hours or complicated sweaters over a weekend. Not many of these amazing machines are being produced and imported today, and there are very few dealers supporting the hobby. Fortunately, we have access to an extensive online community with tremendous expertise, and it is not very difficult to find equipment.

We’d like to help you learn to use your knitting machine.  Beginners are always welcome!

Among us, we have expertise on all the popular Japanese and Swiss machines. Several of us also use antique circular sock machines. Some of us are quite skilled on one machine - but a beginner on another machine.

We usually have a machine knitting demonstration, then show-and-tell and discussion. Everyone shares recent projects, which do not have to be knitted, and we have refreshments. Dues are $20 per year, which covers the Zoom subscription, a donation to help the church where we meet with meeting-related expenses, and miscellaneous club costs.

By the way, to “natter” is to “talk and chatter.”

We welcome you to come and learn more about machine knitting!
