KNOW Meeting – Tawashi Knots
March 25, 2019 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Do you need some Short-Attention Span knitting? Well, join us at KNOW on Monday, March 25th at 6:30 pm for a fun program by Bethel King on knitting Tawashi Knots! What are Tawashi Knots? They are useful little projects you can wash dishes with or use as soft scrubbies to wash your face. Perfect for gift-giving with a lovely bar of soap, a nice cleanser, or a matching knitted washcloth! This item combines knitting AND origami – so please join us for this innovative project.We will be using the Tawashi Knots pattern, which is free on Ravelry. We will provide copies of the pattern at the meeting.
You will need:
- Worsted-weight cotton yarn such as Peaches and Cream or Sugar and Cream in 2 colors (partial balls will definitely work as these can be stash-busters). One color can be the new “Scrubby” or “Cotton Scrubby” yarn but the first time through, regular worsted-weight cotton yarn is recommended.
- Size 6 knitting needles – can be straights or circulars (I normally use 7’s for cotton but you want a bit tighter gauge to increase the scrubbiness).
- 5 Stitch Markers
- Yarn needle for sewing in ends.
For Crocheters: You can use the Whirligig-Tawashi pattern (also free on Ravelry) as an alternate with a G hook. We will provide copies of the pattern at the meeting.
Our chapter meets at Spring Creek Barbecue (corner of I-10 and Westgreen) in Katy from 6:30-8:30 pm. Many of our members arrive early at the restaurant to have dinner. Everyone is welcome.
