Don't f*ck with the flock! 🐑🐑🐑

WTFlock?

Founders Knit 🧶 is a meetup for self-identifying founders, entrepreneurs and creative souls in leadership roles that want to enjoy an hour or two knitting with peers.

What is the format?

Bring an old project, new yarn and an open mind and spend an hour or two shooting shit with the flock. Each meetup starts with a round of intros where you can present what you do, share your goals or recent wins, make an ask or an offer to the group, or share the details on your current knit!

Who is it for?

  • You are a founder, entrepreneur or creative in leadership,

  • ...who enjoys knitting at any skill level; or a you're a total beginner with an open mind and curiosity to learn it,

  • ...and want to connect with professional peers around the fantastic craft/hobby/tradition that is yarn arts!

What if I'm new?

Fantastic 👋 as long as you're a founder, entrepreneur or creative soul in a leadership role, the only other requirement is an interest in learning. Supplies may not be provided but the basics are inexpensive even to try a couple times.

Why does it exist?

Knitting is zen AF 👾 The life of a founder is stressful, and knitting is a calming, multifaceted hobby. It helps distract the hands, focus the mind, and is a great way to look stylish throughout the year. Plus you'll meet a social group of peers to connect with, shoot the shit, talk shop, and knit with.
