We invite all interested knitters to join us for a meeting to see if our Guild is a good fit for you. We meet the First Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm for social time and start our business end of the meeting at 7:00 pm, get that out of the way and move on to a program or technique of interest. It all evolves into social knitting. Good fun, good people, and good lighting. Learn new things about knitting and find ideas and inspiration. For additional information please send an email to centreknitters@gmail.com. Topics for meetings can be found below. Previous years’ topics can be found on our Past Meetings page.
Daytime Knitting
The Centre County Knitting Guild hosts Daytime Knitting once a month on the 4th Tuesday in the Patton Township Building. Join us from 1 to 3 pm in our normal meeting room for good conversation and knitting!
Pub Knitting
Join us for some good food, drinks, and company as we knit our way through some of the local bars and breweries of the State College area! Pub Knitting happens on the second Thursday of every month, with rotating locations, from 6 to 8 pm. RSVPs are helpful so we know how big of a table we need, but not required.

Public Events
Knit in Public Day – June 13th, 2026
What: A day to knit in public! Worldwide Knit in Public Day was started in 2005 by Danielle Landes and takes place on the second Saturday of June each year. It began as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy each other’s company. Knit in Public Day is the largest knitter run event in the world according to Wikipedia.
Just knitting? Nope! Bring your (small) looms, spinning wheels, crochet, lace making, etc. We trust your judgement for what would be an appropriate sized craft to bring.
Where: We’ll be back at Boal City Brewing again this year! There should be plenty of parking and space for all who want to join.
When: Saturday, June 13th from 12 PM to 5 PM (At least!)
Additional Details: If the weather is nice, we’ll be outside! Bring a folding lawn chair if you like (some are provided, but there was a shortage one year). Open to all knitters and crocheters so invite your friends, especially any who may like to become a Guild member.
2026 Monthly Meetings
July 2th, 2026 – Patton Township Building – 6:30 to 8:30 pm
Due to the holiday weekend, there will be no program for July, but those who wish can still meet in the room to sit and knit as we have done in previous years. We hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July!

Mitered Squares by Anamaria Varela and Julie Breuniger
Anamaria and Julie will lead a lesson suited both to experienced mitered square fans and the rest of us who would like to learn the technique. For homework, 1) download and review the attachment provided by Anamaria, 2) check out the June/July Cowl of the month KAL, which uses mitered squares, 3) bring some DK or worsted weight yarn with appropriate needles.
In addition to our program, we will also be doing our annual officer elections. Every year, we elect officers for two of the four positions for a 2-year term. This year the positions are Vice President and Treasurer. Ruth Christensen will preside over the election. In addition to the nominees indicated below, nominations for these two offices can be submitted in advance to Ruth (rlchris@comcast.net) and will be accepted from the floor prior to the election at the June 4 meeting. Self-nominations are permitted.
Vice President nominees: Trudy Lindsley and Anne Hoag
Treasurer nominee: Kathleen Humiston
Note: Anne, currently finishing the first year of the two-year term as president, will be stepping down from the position due to her changing time constraints. Julie Breuninger, our current vice president, has been appointed by Anne to complete the two-year president’s term. Kathleen is our current treasurer.

FLoF Hauls
Bring your FLoF haul and share what you are going to do with your new stash acquisition. If you have no idea, we will be happy to give you some thoughts. We’d also love to see your tools, notions and project bags. We hate to think there was something we missed. An order might just be in our future.
If you participated in the Cowl KAL for February/March, bring your Milky Way Cowl to show off!
If you haven’t yet paid the $20 for your membership, make sure you see Kathleen at the meeting to pay by cash or check, or mail a check to Centre Knitters Guild, PO Box 177, Pine Grove Mills, PA, 16868, attn: Treasurer. Checks should be made payable to “Centre Knitters Guild”.
March 5th, 2026 – Patton Township Building – 6:30 to 8:30 pm
All Things FLoF!
We’re gearing up for our annual For the LOVE of Fiber event! Bring your knitting and sit and listen while Susan and Ruth talk about all things FLoF. This is also your final chance to bring any baskets, unopened fiber tools or supplies, or unwound skeins of yarn to donate towards our raffle baskets this year before we start working on making up the baskets.
February 5th, 2026 – Patton Township Building – 6:30 to 8:30 pm
