Knitwits & Hookers
MondaysClubs & Organizations
Sticks and strings come together on Mondays with the Knitwits & Hookers, a local group of crafty and hilarious knitters and crocheters. (Meetup details vary; find them on Facebook at tinyurl.com/knitwitsandhookers.) Its project posts on ravelry.com tell the story: a woven ball of knitted loops; winter hats with knitted beard attachments; a lovely, yet unexpectedly challenging "lacy cap-sleeve top" with the note, "DONE. OH MY GOD I NEVER WANT TO KNIT THIS AGAIN." Even if scarves and potholders are more your game, give this group a try; maybe you can make your own bearded beanie. — Edie Adelstein

FreeWaltz Lessons
598-2885, 592-1418Dance Parties & Classes
Richard Roxburgh, the actor best known as the icky Duke from Moulin Rouge!, had this to say about his experience dancing: "My most difficult thing so far, to be brutally honest, has been to waltz as if I knew what I was doing." But according to the Broadmoor Waltz Club, you can learn, and succeed, with some basics and good ol' fashioned practice. Interested? The group's giving a free lesson from 6:30 to 7:30 tonight at Austin Bluffs Community Church (5090 Austin Bluffs Pkwy., broadmoorwaltzclub.com). You'll need a partner and a phone — call 598-2885 to reserve your space. — Edie Adelstein
