The New Knitting Circle

If you don’t know your knit from your purl or your dart from your pin tuck, Stash Needle Art Lounge can sort your crafting skills out.

The sewing and knitting space offers classes for beginner and intermediate stitchers. Or, if your skills just need a little practice amongst friends, the lounge lets you hang out in their 100-year-old warehouse space, use their equipment, and benefit from their encouraging company (starting at $6 an hour). Settle into a plush chair by the fireplace to get started on a sweater or stake out a sewing table by the window and craft your own couture. —Jaelyn Molyneux
