North Georgia Knitting Guild

The North Georgia Knitting Guild is a community organization committed to fostering the art of knitting while giving back to the community in ways that are related to knitting. The Guild holds monthly meetings, usually with educational sessions, which are open to all. We sponsor knitting workshops and contribute knitted items to charitable organizations.

This website is to assist members of NGKG, as well as visitors, with notification of activities and meetings and provide knitting related information and instruction. For specific NGKG meeting location mapper, please go to the Meetings and Events page.
