The Guild was founded in 1985 by a small group of women who were passionately dedicated to the art of knitting. They held monthly meetings at the College of St. Catherine (St. Kate’s). The first meetings were very similar to those have today. There was a short business meeting followed by a knitting or fiber related program with lots of opportunities for fellowship in between. The MKG library was a suitcase full of books purchased with Guild money and hauled to every meeting by the MKG librarian.

As the years went by, the group grew; it was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) with the State of Minnesota in 1997.
