Who We Are & Where We Meet
We are a group of knitters & crocheters who meet monthly on the 1st Saturday of the month at 10:15 am. We currently meet in person at the Arlanza Public Library and on-line using Zoom.
The email reminder will have the most current information on whether the meeting will be held in-person and/or on Zoom.
We are a community based organization
We support our community by making charitable contributions to local non profit organizations.
Our desire is to advance the knowledge and enjoyment of knitting and crochet skills in a friendly active environment. We encourage knitters and crocheters of all skill levels to join. We hold workshops with local and national designers, work together as a group on some projects, hold challenges for creative skills, and learn from each other in our “Show ‘N Share” projects.
Please come, join us as a guest and bring a current project to “Show ‘N Share.” If you are having a problem with a project, we have many members available who would be glad to assist you. We love to share what we have learned with others.
What We Offer
We hold monthly business meetings where our members share projects they are working on. Several times a year, we offer classes and workshops. There may be a fee attached to these special events, dependent upon teachers’ charges and materials used.
We publish a monthly newsletter with information about upcoming events, etc. The monthly newsletters can be found by clicking on the link: Newsletter.
Check our Calendar of Upcoming Monthly Meetings & Events for more details click the link.

We welcome guests for a one-time attendance and after that we hope you will become a member. We have an annual membership fee of $15.00 payable by January 31. You can download the RKG Membership form for more details.
By-Laws, Standing Rules, and a Membership List will be sent to all new members via e-mail once you have become a member in good standing of the Riverside Knitting Guild.
Community Outreach
In 2025, we supported Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) high schools Wellness Centers and the Riverside Restorative Transformation Center with Emotional Support Chickens. This was possible with generous support from The Knitting Tree, Los Angeles.
