What to expect.

Craft groups in San Francisco are knitting and crochet circles, sewing nights, mending meetups and general make-anything evenings on a fixed day, often at a library, a café or a yarn shop. Bring whatever you are working on, or nothing and ask.

Nearly all are free. Where a venue charges a small fee for the room, the listing says.

All 12 craft groups in San Francisco.

A to Z, in each club's own words. Every one links to the club, and every day and time is the one the club publishes.
