knitting circle

Yarn hobbyist gathering

A knitting circle is a social gathering where people knit together, traditionally women meeting regularly in someone's home or a community space.

The activity provides a reason to gather, but conversation and companionship are equally important: The knitting circle met every Thursday afternoon.

The term sometimes appears figuratively for any close-knit group of friends who meet routinely.
