On Saturday, November 14, from 2-4, come to Firefly to learn all the math you need to know to knit 🧶: how to convert measurements, figure out how much yarn you need for a project, and use your gauge swatch to its fullest potential!!

Our community is a key part of what makes Firefly so special 🥰🧶🧡

Maker’s Night and Maker’s Morning offer the chance to create together and occasionally even solve the problems of the world (how to fix that one mistake you made three rows back, whether to choose chocolate or cheese, what that beeping noise is….😉)!

If you’re a fiber artist in the Chicago area looking for a fiber community, we hope to see you at a maker’s event soon!! 💖🧶🧵🪡💖
