CityBuzz — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:05:31 -0500

Click. Click. Pause. Click. That's the sound of your knitting needles keeping tune with Damn Yankees at next week's KnitFlix.

Once a month, the Denver Public Library in the Capitol Hill neighborhood hosts a movie-knitting night, and Tuesday's flick is the 1950s baseball musical. This month's get-together is on Tuesday, June 23, starting at 5:30 pm.

Bring your needles and be prepared to mingle. The free-spirited craftspeople who attend these evenings are known for cracking jokes all night.
