A full and fun weekend awaits us at Camp Lone Star in La Grange, TX, starting on Thursday, March 14. This will be time to enjoy friendship and comradeship while putting your knitting needles to work in a few classes designed to build and develop your skills.
There will be some homework ahead of the retreat. Our knit programs are led by Marla Morris and will kick-off Thursday evening with terminology, schematics, and measuring. Friday will lead us on a journey showing us the processes of shaping and work working with increases and decreases. We will talk swatches, top-down sweaters, and experiment with various needles and yarns to create a recipe for the perfect sweater for you!
Saturday morning, Linda Pietz will teach us the art of creating fabric using Tunisian Crochet. We will learn to crochet four pieces of fabric needed to make a top that is flattering to all. The afternoon will be open free time.
Toss in a puzzle or three, a quick class on creating a felted character, an optional $45 class with kit to create a row counter, a fire pit, St. Patrick’s Day Shenanigans, and a good time will be had by all.
Additional details about the classes can be found in the KANG members-only section of the website. Hope to see you there!

KNOW Meeting – Sweater (cont.)
2024-02-26 18:30 - 20:30 | Spring Creek Barbeque, 21000 Katy Fwy, Katy, TX, 77449, United States
In February, we will take the next steps in preparing to knit a sweater – Yarn Selection. We will look at potential yarns, their types and compositions, and how these will affect your project’s results.
Most importantly, we will be tackling the dreaded gauge swatch. This necessary step will make sure that your sweater fits you.
HOMEWORK: Please knit 3 – 6” x 6” swatches in the different potential sweater yarn choices using the appropriate needle size. (You can certainly make more than these). Wash and block them. We will be measuring gauge to see which yarns/needle combinations are appropriate for knitting your sweater.
> Please bring straight-edge ruler, straight pins, and have a calculator handy to compute your gauge.
Members often arrive early to visit and have dinner at the restaurant to show support for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Guild members and visitors are welcome.
