Welcome!
See what's happening at the Greater Boston Knitting Guild as we knit our projects and our lives together, one stitch at a time.
We are happy you're here!
Greater Boston Knitting Guild members come from the US (26 states so far!), Portugal, Canada and Australia. Our tagline is "Boston and Beyond, a Fiber Arts Community"! The Membership includes beginners, advanced, experts, and all levels in between.
We share a curiosity of all things knit, crochet and fiber. We provide a variety of programs and events to satisfy the curious. Together we learn, we teach, we pass the craft down through the next generation and find inspiration. Our Guild brings the world of making, design, and fiber to our Membership.
GBKG's active Community Outreach program serves the Greater Boston Community providing thousands of handmade items to those in need. These items are collected all year long for distribution in the Fall.
Gather your yarn, grab your needles, and join us at any of our events for a smile, a new friend, and a spark of inspiration. It’s nice to be with people who understand why your stash is so large or your number of works in progress is what it is!
Looking forward to a very busy 2026-2027 at the Greater Boston Knitting Guild with you.
Cynthia Doherty

Community Outreach
Since 1993, GBKG members have been putting our needles and crochet hooks to work for others. You can help by making prayer shawls, hats, cowls, scarfs, gloves and mittens. Shawls for both men and women are donated to Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Infant, Baby, Toddler, Children and Adult sized hats are distributed by us through out the Greater Boston Area.
​Every head deserves a hat. We believe “It’s knitting for GOOD”.
