Our sweater series is drawing to a close. It’s time for closure on our sweaters! Button Bands! (Did you see what I did there?)
At the October meeting, we will discuss various buttonholes you can knit, how to plan out their placement, and how to stabilize buttons on a knitted garment. In the workshop portion, we will pick up and knit a button band with buttonholes.
*NOTE: Please bring two 3 x 6 blocked stockinette pieces in worsted weight yarn, knitting needles the same size you knitted with, and additional worsted weight yarn to knit the bands.
Also, if you have any additional questions or concerns particular to your project, please email your questions to cathy@drake-family.net. And I will prepare my best answers for the meeting to help you be successful. Don’t forget that December will be our show and tell time!
I’m finishing up my sweater for then too.

Experience the magic of short rows.
Short rows let you add interesting design elements to your projects and improve the fit of your garments. Practice Wrap & Turn, German, Japanese, and Twin Stitch (fish lips kiss) techniques. Learn why some methods are more suited to stockinette and garter stitch and why some are more visible on the back side of your work.
Bring smooth yarn (worsted or DK weight) and suitable needles.

Bringing it Alive with Seaming – hands-on workshop and seaming demonstration
Seaming techniques for shoulders, vertical and horizontal adjustments
Are you making good progress on your sweaters this year? I hope this month’s topic catches you when you are getting close to putting your sweater together. This month we will delve into seaming. We will be seaming horizontally, vertically, and cast-on to cast-off.
You must prepare and block several small swatches in worsted-weight yarn to participate. Please use a long-tail cast-on and a regular bind-off.
Please make two 3″ x 6″ swatches and two 3″ x 3″ squares. It might be easiest if they aren’t in variegated yarn. Bring the swatches, a ruler, calculator or other way to do math, a pencil, a yarn needle, and yarn scraps to use in seaming. You may choose to use a different color for seaming so you can see what is happening.
Many members often come early to have dinner and show support for the restaurant and their generosity in letting us meet there. Guild members and visitors are welcome to join us!
