A group of friends and I were meeting weekly in the spring and summer months. I taught some of them to crochet, and my mom taught some to knit. The weekly meetings got to be a bit much, though, and we've dwindled down to just three of us. We've decided to put our meetings on hold for a few weeks as many of us are homeschoolers and getting back into our school routine right now. I'm thinking we'll probably try meeting once a month instead of weekly, starting in October.
The fellowship was wonderful! I highly encourage everyone to set up gatherings like this. As lealabug noted, it's much easier to help with problems when you can see the work and the pattern.
