Knitting Club: Seaside Knitters?

The exhausting heat followed by a couple of rainy days had me hoping for fall and winter. I started thinking about knitting, and how we could start a Knitting Club at the library this fall all through winter. We could have experienced knitters meet at the library every week or every other week, it could also become a Reading and Knitting Club, as we have so many books on knitting, fiction and non fiction. To make it even more interesting and community focused, I though we could also have them knit specific items such as: socks, hats, mittens and scarves, which would be donated to some charity around Christmas time, and we could get the whole community involved with either knitting, or just donating clothes, coats, scarves, mittens, hats and socks, and, actually, this could culminate at our Deck the Halls event!
I envision a cozy set up for the knitters, some coffee, tea, cake/cookies, etc.

• Some books/series that would be appropriate:

1. Debbie Macomber's "Knitting Books/Blossom Street" Series: Back on Blossom Street, A Good Yarn, The Shop on Blossom Street, Summer on Blossom Street, Susannah's Garden, Twenty Wishes
   
2. Kate Jacobs' "Friday Night Knitting Club" Series: The Friday Night Knitting Club, Knit Two, plus Knit the Season and Comfort Food, Knit Together: Discover God's Pattern for Your Life
   
3. Ann Hood's "The Knitting Circle"
4. Maggie Sefton's "A Knitting Mystery Series": "A Deadly Yarn", "A Killer Stitch", "Needled to Death"
5. For younger knitters (we could start a youth/young knitters club too) there's Jill Wolfson's "What I Call Life"
6. Knit Along with Debbie Macomber: Hanna's List
   
7. A few Knitting Fiction choices: List 1, List 2, List 3
   

• We could and should add to our knitting books collection for this event as well;
• We should have a Knitting Club Book Cart set up
