Welcome to Knitting Arts!
A Place Where Fibers, People
and Creativity Come Together
Knitting Arts is a full service knitting store and studio.
Jan Hurwitz, owner and knitter in chief, describes Knitting Arts as "a haven
for knitters, where they can be surrounded by yarn and color."
Sign up for our weekly newsletter and learn about our free weekend workshops and knit-alongs - held most weekends.
Our Knitting Doctor service keeps you on track with your projects, gets you through that 'nagging problem', and there's no charge!
Call the shop to schedule your complementary 30 min. appointment with either Gunilla (Tues. 2-6pm & Sun. 11-5pm), or Maggie (Wed. 2-6pm & Thurs. 11-4pm).

- Teen & 'Tween Knitting Club
Girls (and guys) just gotta have fun! This is a FREE group, meeting every
Friday afternoon from 4-6pm at Knitting Arts. The group is hosted by
Knitting Arts teacher Marie Stroughter, who provides guidance to students
each week. The club is for those with basic knitting experience, and we ask
that you "register" in advance so we can plan space and seating.
Participants are encouraged to bring projects they are interested in, or
they can choose from a variety of project & pattern books that are geared
toward their age group.
- TKGA Group Meets Here
Knitspiration of Silicon Valley is a TKGA-affiliated
(The Knitting Guild of America) knitting guild for the South Bay / Santa
Clara County, California. The purpose of the group is to support and
encourage one another towards excellence in knitting through education,
group discussion, and sharing.
The group meets monthly at Knitting Arts. Visit their
website to see a schedule of upcoming meetings, as well as
an archive of past meeting topics and events. All knitters are welcome!
