Owner of Marsh Wiggle Knitting

Join us for a wonderfully creative evening as Kathy Johnson, owner of Marsh Wiggle Knitting, leads an engaging session on Lowcountry Knitting. Kathy will share how our coastal climate influences yarn and fiber choices, how to select materials that perform beautifully in heat and humidity, and tips for ensuring your knitting projects succeed in the Lowcountry environment.
To make the evening even more festive, we’ll enjoy Cinco de Mayo–inspired refreshments while we learn, mingle, and get inspired.

Open to the Public but registration is required.

Join the Fripp Island Art Guild for Reflections of Fripp, a vibrant celebration of local creativity and coastal inspiration.
