City Knits Ongoing Events

Knit & Crochet with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra

The DSO has reserved a section of seats at the rear of the Main Floor reserved just for knitters & crocheters. The price for Sunday afternoon concerts would be $25, normally $49.00 (you can use the savings to buy more yarn). City Knits Fisher Building will be open before and after each performance.

Tickets must be preordered to get the special price and section. Bring your DSO ticket into City Knits within a week of the performance (before or after), and get 20% off your yarn purchase. Click here for more information.

"Knitting Around Downtown" on the Detroit People Mover
Every Tuesday evening April 1 through October 30

City Knits and The Detroit Transportation Corporation are pleased to announce "Knitting Around Downtown" on the Detroit People Mover. Join fellow knitters and crocheters as we knit our community together.

We will gather every week in the first car of the "FOX 2" train. Start time is around 6 pm, and you can board at any station - just make sure that you find us on the "FOX 2" train (there are 4 or 5 trains running at any time). Look for the Kniting Around Downtown signs in the car window. No need to worry if you can't be there right at 6. Come when you can and stay as long as you want. Start-up help for beginners and tech support will be available. Come help make this endeavor a success.

A trip on the People Mover is only fifty cents. Drop by the Guardian location, and City Knits will treat you to a token for your first Tuesday evening ride. City Knits will also be a vendor of DPM tokens.

City Knits in the Guardian is most convenient to the Financial District Station, so if you need supplies, you can stop by the shop before you board. We'll plan to knit or crochet until 8 o'clock or so, and those who are interested will pick an eatery near a stop and continue the socializing.
