Knit Wit

Come learn with us! Each month's meeting includes fun and educational activities.

We offer a combination of meeting in person and virtually on Zoom. Links to the Zoom meetings are emailed to all active RCK members (i.e. dues paid) in advance of the meeting.

In-person meetings are held at Legacy at Imperial Village, 1717 Bellevue Ave in Richmond VA, usually on the second Saturday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Prospective new members are invited to attend their first in-person meeting at no charge. Proof of COVID vacations is required at the first visit. Masks are optional.
