THE JANESVILLE AREA KNITTING GUILD

was founded on November 14, 1985.  The JAKG began with a few interested knitters and quickly expanded to over thirty members in the first year.  At each meeting, a program designed to inspire and teach is presented to the members with time allowed to ask questions, share knitting projects and announce items of interest to knitters.  Classes, workshops, knitting days and community knitting times are also scheduled.  Each year the Guild organizes and supports community programs to distribute knitted items to those in need.  The first annual Knit-In was held on January 11, 1990 and continues to be our most successful event.  The Knit-in offers classes presented by knitters from across the country and a chance to shop for the newest yarns and equipment from a variety of vendors.
