National Yarn Craft groups or societies.

I am new to knitting and love it so far.


At what point in the hobby would it be best to join a group or society? I already meet with a friend to knit. When do YOU suggest it is best to join a group?

I think getting together with other knitters is always fun and encouraging no matter how long you've been knitting. Everyone remembers what it was like starting out so even experienced knitters are usually very patient with beginners. A group at the yarn store or a local group that meets at the community center, a library or a cafe is a good way to practice and learn.
Take a look at the goals for a national group of crafters and see if it suits you, then give it a try.
