Knitting and crochet are the starting points, not entry requirements, for NYC Pints 'n' Purls’ Nov. 12 gathering. The group welcomes people who want to learn as well as crafters working in other forms of needlework.
A stitching meetup, open beyond yarn
NYC Pints 'n' Purls describes itself as a social needlework group for people at all ability levels. Its profile specifically mentions tatting, cross-stitch and needlepoint alongside knitting and crochet, and says beginners are welcome.
The event listing extends the invitation to crafters of any kind and to people hoping to learn knitting or crochet. It does not describe a class or an instructor-led lesson, so newcomers can join the gathering without assuming they will receive formal instruction.

A separate Wednesday meetup
The group also lists a distinct gathering for Wednesday, Nov. 25, described as its fourth-Wednesday meetup. That session names felting, sewing and embroidery in addition to knitting, crochet and cross-stitch, and invites people to share their work. It is a separate event from the Nov. 12 second-Thursday gathering.
The Nov. 12 event listing also says the in-person meetup is in addition to the group’s continuing online meetup.
