If you love crochet and are looking for a place to share your passion, learn new techniques, and connect with others who appreciate the craft, Crocheters of the Lakes is the perfect group for you!
We are a welcoming community of crocheters who gather each month to celebrate the art of crochet—whether through learning new skills, showing off our latest projects, or working together to give back to the community.
When & Where
We meet on the second Monday of each month at the State Bank of the Lakes in Grayslake, IL. Doors open at 6:00 pm for social time, and our official meeting kicks off at 7:00 pm. Each gathering includes chapter news, a special program, and an opportunity for members to share their work. Meetings usually wrap up by 9:00 pm.
Why Join?
Becoming a member is a great way to connect with fellow crocheters, expand your skills, and gain access to exclusive benefits. Annual dues are just $15, which includes a monthly newsletter and special member-only events.
Curious but not ready to commit? Visitors are welcome to attend a meeting for a $3 guest fee to see what we’re all about. Some special programs may have additional costs, but we’re confident that once you experience the camaraderie and creativity, you’ll want to become a member!
More Than Just a Hobby
At Crocheters of the Lakes, we believe crochet is more than a craft—it’s a way to connect, inspire, and continuously grow. Our mission is to honor both traditional and modern crochet techniques while engaging with our community and educating the public about this beautiful art form.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, we’d love to have you join us. Come for the yarn, stay for the friendships!
