Cakes&Stitches

Bring your yarn, we bring the cake. A cosy craft afternoon at Kuchenamt, where people with and without disabilities work side by side.

That half-finished scarf that's been sitting in a bag since October? Bring it along.

Cakes&Stitches is a relaxed afternoon of knitting, crocheting or embroidery, right here at Kuchenamt in Vienna. You only just learned to cast on? You knit socks in your sleep? Either way, there's a seat for you. Ask questions, swap tips, show off your work in progress, or just sit back and stitch while the conversation flows.

Your ticket includes: • A slice of homemade cake • Homemade lemonade at your table

But there's one thing that makes this afternoon different from any other craft meetup.

Kuchenamt is a café where people with and without disabilities work together. Young people with learning disabilities train here to become restaurant professionals. They're the ones taking your order, bringing your cake and making sure your glass never runs empty. Every ticket goes straight into that: real training, real jobs, a real place in Vienna's working world.

So you get an afternoon for yourself, and someone else takes another step in their career. Not a bad deal for €14.

Cakes&Stitches is hosted together with our partner from @StitchSipKnit.

There are only 40 seats, and each ticket is for one person. Grab yours, pack your yarn and bring a friend who's been meaning to pick up the needles again.

See you at the table?
