About the class

Welcome to our Crochet & Knit Group! Perfect for all skill levels, this casual gathering invites you to join anytime for a bit of crafting and camaraderie. Whether you’re picking up a crochet hook for the first time or you’re a seasoned knitter, our group is here to support and inspire you. Join us for a fun and friendly atmosphere where beginners can learn the basics and advanced ‘skeiniacs’ can explore new techniques and projects. Share tips, nibble on snacks, and enjoy a creative community where everyone’s skills and ideas are celebrated. Bring your latest project or start something new – we have plenty of yarn for you!

Note: The program starts at 6:00pm. If no one has arrived by 6:15pm, the volunteer guide will need to leave. We look forward to seeing you and getting started together!


The Sonoma Community Center is committed to creating an accessible learning environment. If you require any special considerations(medical, physical, learning) please share them with Sean Baskin, Program Associate, by emailing him at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org so that he can forward them to the relevant Program Director and Instructor.

About the instructor

Therese Keating

Instructor / Artist

I have been crocheting most of my life.  My mother taught me, as well as many other things, needlepoint, sewing, quilting, cooking, preserving, etc.  I have always favored crochet.
I grew up in Buffalo NY, went to college in Atlanta, started working in the fashion industry in NYC which brought me to LA as the western states sales manager for Giorgio Armani menswear.  40+ years living in LA, a son and a transition (after 20 years) from fashion to wine.  I moved to Sonoma 5 years ago (great decision!) and work in guest relations at Opus One in Napa.  I’ve become a grandma and play with clay a lot (started that 10 years ago) at the Sonoma Community Center.  I continue my sewing, needlepoint and, of course, crocheting all through my life.

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class. 

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee, or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Late additions to any program, class, or workshop that has already begun will be allowed on a per-case basis depending upon the Program Director & instructors approval. Late additions will have to pay the full registration cost of the class, along with any materials fees, and will not be prorated for the time missed. You may reach out to the program directors directly, or the Program Associate Sean Baskin at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org to request a late addition.
