Hello Everyone!

It’s that time of year again and the Sweater Weather Knit and Stitch Social is being held on Saturday 1st November at La Caverna Restaurant

We are having a knitwear fashion show for those who want to show off their sweater along with any accessories like cowls, hats, mittens, scarves etc.

AND we have a fashion illustrator and live event artist joining us as a special guest.

Louise Boughton who has extensive experience doing live illustrations at fashion shows and events in Ireland and abroad will be doing illustrations during our “Knitwear on the Catwalk”.

We hope she will share her experiences from the recent London Fashion Week held a couple weeks ago.

It’s going to be an exciting opportunity to showcase your handknits!

Tickets now available for purchase

Looking forward to seeing you on 1st November.

We had a great start to the 2025/26 season of the monthly Knit and Stitch Social on September 4th at @la caverna. It was a fun and happy afternoon. The new set up of smaller tables was well received so we will continue with that.

As many of you know, the monthly Knit and Stitch Social is held on the first Saturday of each month.

We have booked for the rest of this year to give everyone certainty.

The next three Socials will be held on: Saturday 4th October, Saturday 1st November and the Knitmas party will be Saturday 6th December.

Tickets are available to purchase now for Saturday 4th October.

Looking forward to another great monthly Knit and Stitch Social.

Meet the Makers Supper Club

Hi Everyone,

The Meet the Maker social event is a trial to see if there’s interest in a monthly evening dinner social that welcomes all makers whether it’s crochet, embroidery, knitting, paper crafting, sewing etc. It’s a chance for those who prefer an evening for meeting up with like minded makers.

Greg and I are organising this trial supper club at La Caverna Restaurant to socialise over a lovely dinner of your choice from a select menu at a very good price. The supper club is not for profit. The amount you pay is simply to cover the cost of your meal plus gratuity and sum up fee.

Vegetarian and vegan options are available.

If you attend the monthly Saturday knitting socials, you will know what to expect. If you are new and have any questions, please feel free to write to us at:

The Dublin Knitwork

Hello!

I’ve gained some new followers and I would like to re-introduce myself here.

My name is Diane, and I’m originally from the city of Mississauga, Ontario and moved to Dublin in 2006.

I learned the basics of sewing in high school and learned how to knit from my classmates in college.

I call myself a Social Knitworker, because I enjoy networking and welcoming knitters to our CommuniKnitty.

I created a social media profile as Dublin Knitwork as a means to share who, what and where mainly in and around Dublin.

I still write the odd blogpost here.

Since September 2023, my other half @themurphyleaf and I decided to revive and rebrand the Temple Stitch n Bitch as the Dublin Knit and Stitch Social.

We currently plan and organise a monthly event where knitters/crocheters come together to eat, drink, and make, as well as doing our part to support the local and independently owned restaurants and cafes in Dublin.
