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.

At our November meeting Gloria Chukman will be presenting a program titled, “Pack it or Hack it“.
We’ll talk about what to pack, fiber-wise, for knitting when traveling, and some hacks for tools, whenever or wherever you don’t have them handy and just *have to* to knit. With the holidays quickly approaching, this a subject that many of think about even before we pack our suitcases!
