Knitting in the Hudson Valley, New York

The Hudson Valley is really beautiful right now. The perfect place to be. Maybe you're visiting friends. Maybe you'll stay around awhile. Did you remember to bring your knitting?

If you want to join in with some great new friends, why not stop in to one of the local knitting groups? There's one in just about any town  -- or not far away from where you are right now. Daytime, evening, during the week, on weekends. You name it.
