Description
What is this?
We’ll have a “knitting circle” of 12 seats set up on our cafe side (because cats and needles don’t mix 
) You’ll spend an hour in the knitting circle starting your new cross stich project and chatting with fellow stitchers.
Then at 8:30pm everyone will head into the cat lounge for the famous catnip hour. Hang out with 25+ adoptable cats and watch them freak out over catnip.
Then at 9:30 it’s back out to the knitting circle to continue your project or just hang with the group.
