When you are standing in the yarn store with your pattern and you are looking at all the colors of yarn, and you need four or is it five colors for your project?
Come, listen, and learn because Hazel Kjos will be presenting a program on “Understanding the Characteristics and Relationships of Color, and How to Choose Them to Your Best Advantage.”
Attendees will receive a color wheel to keep in their project bags to take with them when going yarn shopping.
The Handover Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 1st at 8:30a-12:30p at the Windwood Presbyterian Church.
Meeting is intended for all outgoing and incoming members of the Executive Board and the Chapter Presidents. Membership persons from the chapter level also welcome.

At our July meeting we will begin work on our next charity project. It was decided that we would knit and crochet wash clothes for charity.
As part of the process of working on this project, we are going to have a presentation on “crocheting for knitters” and we will have patterns for those that would like to learn and those who are proficient at crocheting available. Knitting patterns will also be provided at the meeting.
More information will be sent prior to our meeting.
At our June meeting we are planning to get ahead of our 26-27 program schedule. We encourage members to attend and give their input of programs they would like to have provided during our next chapter year.
This month we’ll learn a little bit about Intarsia and complete a swatch.
If you wish to participate, please bring two contrasting colors of yarn (worsted or heavy worsted recommended) and appropriate needles. You’ll need 12-15 yards of your main color and 4-5 yards of the contrast color.
If you have bobbins, feel free to bring them – you’ll need 3. You can also make your own bobbins from cereal boxes, use a clothespin, or wind yarn into a butterfly (all of which we’ll cover in the program).
Retreat Reflections
At our April 16, 2026 meeting the attendees from our recent KANG Retreat at Camp Lonestar will discuss their experiences. The attendees will also have a show and tell of the classes they participated in and some of their finished projects from the classes.
At our March 19th meeting our topic will be “OMG, Spring is almost here and I still have WIP’s and stash that needs to be used!”
We will bring our WIP’s and bring a skein from our stash to get ideas from others how to use it. We will also discuss why Frogging a project isn’t a sign of failure.
At our February meeting, Nancy Polychronopoulos will be giving her presentation on Knitting in the Arts.
We will be taking a look at how knitting and crocheting has been represented in “Art” throughout history.
At our January 15th meeting, Naomi Enav will demonstrate and instruct members on the use of the Guild’s knitting machines. During this program Naomi will discuss the yarn weights that she has had the most success with and which yarn weights are difficult to work with.
Our December 18th meeting will be our Holiday Get together.
Members will be participating in a White Elephant exchange, please bring a skein of yarn from your stash that you think someone else will love and wrap it up so it will be a surprise.
Finger food will be provided by the chapter, as well as paper products. If you would like to bring something sweet, please let Valarie know.
