What Is Sassy Stitchers?
Sassy Stitchers is a recurring knit and crochet group at the Evans Library. Per the official event listing, members share patterns and trade advice. The listing doesn't describe it as a class, so think of it as a social meetup where you can work on your own project, whether it's your first granny square or your fiftieth sweater.

Cost and Registration
The event listing doesn't mention a fee, tickets, or registration. Unlike some Evans Library programs that note "ticket required," this one doesn't. If you want to be sure before you go, call the library at (706) 863-1946.
Who It's For
The listing says all skill levels are welcome. That makes it a good fit for:
- Brand-new knitters and crocheters who want to learn from others
- Experienced makers who enjoy swapping patterns and tips
- Anyone new to Columbia County looking for a friendly group
The listing doesn't give an age range. If you're planning to bring a younger crafter, check with the library first.
What to Expect
Based on the county's description, expect a casual, social session: people working on their own projects and sharing "patterns and advice" with each other. Come ready to ask questions, or to answer a few.
The listing doesn't say whether yarn, needles, or hooks are provided. Plan to bring your own supplies. (Unconfirmed: ask the library if you need materials.)
Tips for Your First Visit
- Bring a portable project. Something small, like a dishcloth, hat, or granny square, is easy to carry and easy to work on while you chat.
- Pack your pattern. If you're stuck on a section, bring the pattern so someone can take a look.
- Arrive a little early to settle in. The session runs two hours, so you don't have to stay the whole time.
- Make a morning of it. The Evans Library page notes a lobby cafe for drinks and snacks, plus a park next door with a walking trail and a pond.
