Welcome to The Crafters’ Circle
The Crafters’ Circle is a gathering place for knitters, crocheters, and crafters to build community, share experience, and learn new skills.
We’re creating a warm, welcoming environment for anyone to stretch their creative muscles, try new things, make mistakes, and simply enjoy the process of creating. Launched by owner and founder Lori Moore, the Crafters’ Circle exists to offer makers at all skill levels a place to gather and practice their art, learn new skills, or just hang out.
