What is the Knitters Guild?

The Knitters' Guild NSW Inc. was established to promote and encourage the disciplines of handknitting and crochet. It also encourages the maintenance of high standards in design and technique, provides the opportunity for the exchange and provision of information and education in the craft and encourages the exhibition of member's work.

The Guild was formed in 1986 and has members statewide. Groups meet regularly throughout the Sydney Metropolitan area and country NSW.

The Guild is affiliated with various craft organisations and the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, where Executive Committee meetings are held on a monthly basis. The Guild regularly arranges workshops and demonstrations in many disciplines including Aran Knitting, fine lace and Shetland lace knitting, Fair Isle, Crochet etc.

The Guild's headquarters and library is situated at Dence Park, Epping. Books and patterns are continually being added to this collection and can be borrowed by members.

The Standards Committee has developed a series of Achievement Certificate Syllabuses in both knitting and crochet for those members who wish to improve or extend their skills and knowledge of techniques.

The Archives Committee aims to preserve and exhibit examples of knitting and crochet and patterns from the past.

A newsletter is regularly published and distributed to all members.
