Connection

A place to reconnect with others, meet new people, and step gently out of isolation and loneliness.

Creativity

Hands-on learning that helps people build confidence through exploring and developing new skills, and trying again.

Community

A safe place to learn, make, and belong

Founded by Marie Brown, Stitch Craft N Knit creates a welcoming, safe, and enjoyable space where people can come together, learn new skills, build confidence, and feel empowered through creativity and shared experiences. Alongside her is Marcia Brown, an Intermediate Knitter with endless skills, including reading charts and patterns, as well as creating intricate cable and lace designs.

The group encourages people to step out of isolation and into community life, reconnect with others, meet new people, and rediscover the joy of learning and creating together. Remaining a teaching group is central to the mission, ensuring that members continue to grow, support one another, and develop new skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.
