With several yarn shops and hundreds of knit and crochet magicians, Cork City is a wool lovers paradise. At least, it is for me. For those new to Cork or just visiting, yarn can be a fun souvenir and going to a knit night can be a non-touristy way to enjoy your time here.
Tuesday nights from 7:00-9:00, The Pavilion on Carey Lane hosts Knitty Wooly Fun Time in the downstairs bar. They state it as “a night to get together to make gloves not war…discussion of design, patterns, materials and techniques…bring yer knitting needles.” Admission FREE
Thursday nights from 6:00-9:00, Vibes & Scribes on Lavitt’s Quay hosts Knit Night in their craft shop. They sell a large selection of wool, needles, hooks, and notions for knitters and crocheters. Admission FREE.
