Sometimes I am so tired from the work schedule but still need my knitters fix. It's not what I'm knitting but the fellowship. It's worth the 18 miles I drive to visit or quietly sit and knit, like you mentioned. Observing and learning from others. Everyone has something they can teach. I learned how to better use my thumb when I'm purling. Much smoother and quicker. If you can't find a group, why not start one. Find a few knitters, crocheter or any type of needle work. Have a fiber fest and fun, fun fun. Ditto!

They have lists of groups from all around the country. You might also try your local yarn store, if you have one, or even a chain craft store that offers knitting classes. They may have listings of knitting groups. If not, maybe you could advertise and start one up yourself. You don't have to be an experienced knitter to start or attend a knitting group. In our group, everyone learns from everyone else. The less experienced knitters tend to offer just as many tips as the pros do. Try http://www.stitchnbitch.org.

I can cast on, knit and bind off. That's all I know so far. I've read about these groups but how do you find one? And are they just in big cities? I’m just learning to knit.
