【题目】阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Knitting(编织) is a popular craft in the United States. Knitters use needles and yarn to make garments such as scarves, gloves, hats, and sweaters. Some people prefer to knit by themselves. Other knitters enjoy getting together with others who love to knit, so they form a knitting circle—a club whose members chat and knit at the same time. If you want to start a knitting circle, planning is easy.

First, you should invite people to join your knitting circle. Ask your friends if they are interested in being part of the group. You only need two people to start your circle, but as the saying goes, “The more, the merrier!”

Next, you need to decide when and where to meet. A time in the evening or on the weekend might be the most convenient. You could get together at a member’s home, a local coffee shop, or a community(社区) center.

After you have decided on a time and place, tell the other members of the circle when and where you will meet and what they should bring. You might want to ask them to bring their own yarn and needles—and extra to share! Knitting circle members often lend and borrow materials (材料).

At your first meeting, you should discuss your long-term plans for the club. How often do you want to meet? Do you want to take turns to bring food and drinks to the meeting? Do you want to give things your group knits to a charity (慈善机构)?

Starting a knitting circle does not need much work. With some successful planning, after a few meetings, your group can become a close-knit community; in other words, a happy knitting family!
