KIND Meeting – Favorite Things

For our September meeting, we will be sharing our favorite knitting/crocheting things – needles, yarn, patterns, etc.

Please bring yours and your items for Show and Share.

KIND Meeting – Reading charts

KIND will meet on July 15 at 10am at Bayland Community Center. This month’s program will be understanding how to read charts. Bring some scrap yarn and needles to practice with.

KIND Meeting

We will meet at the Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet (near Bissonnet and Hillcroft) at 10am on June 17.

We will continue working on Cheryl Brunette’s sweater pattern. The website for the class is https://howtoknitasweater.com . Please watch the videos through #10 before the meeting.

KIND Meeting – How to knit a sweater

The KIND chapter will be returning to the Bayland Center, 6400 Bissonnet, this month. Social distancing will be implemented and everyone will be asked to wear a mask. The date is May 20 at 10am.
We will continue working on Cheryl Brunette’s sweater pattern. The website for the class is https://howtoknitasweater.com . Please watch the videos through #6 before the meeting.

KIND meeting – How to knit a sweater

This month and the following months we will work on Cheryl Brunette’s “How to make a sweater” class.  The website for the class is https://howtoknitasweater.com .

The class has 15 videos; some of these we will watch in class, others you will need to watch at home.  For the April class, the homework is below.  It looks like a lot but it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes.
  • Go to the link above and click on the “Sign me up!” button.  Enter your name and email address then click “Get started here”.
  • Download the handouts
  • The class starts on the page titled “Part 1: Welcome to the Workshop.”  The attachment in this email is the same as the “download the pattern” link so you won’t need to do that.
  • Watch video “Part 1: Welcome to the Workshop” and the video “Making and measuring a gauge swatch”.
  • Get the yarn and needles you want to use for the sweater – this is a test knit in a size to fit a small child so you won’t need a lot of yarn.

KIND Meeting – Round table discussion on various topics

The February KIND meeting was cancelled due to the weather, so the March meeting will have the same agenda: We will have a round table discussion covering topics such as how we organize our yarn, what tools we put in our project bags, any favorite tools or techniques we like.

If there are other topics you want to talk about or you are not a KIND member and want to attend, please email Kate Wilson at kangwebmaster@gmail.com.

KIND – German Short Rows

This month we will learn how to do German short rows.

Homework: Using any worsted-weight yarn and an appropriate sized needle, cast on 20 stitches. Work in garter stitch for 4 rows, then work stockinette stitch for 2 rows. Do not bind off.

If you are not a KIND member and want to attend, please email kangwebmaster@gmail.com for a link to the meeting.

KIND December meeting

We will be meeting via Zoom on December 17 at 10am.  Please bring anything you have finished or are working on to share with the group.

KIND November Zoom Meeting

Allyn Wise will be teaching us how to use Magic Loop for working in the round on hats, socks, or other small objects.
If you are not a KIND member and want to attend, please email kangwebmaster@gmail.com for a link to the meeting.

Homework:

Using worsted weight yarn and the appropriate size needle, cast on 32 stitches onto a circular needle at least 24″ long.  A longer needle works just as well.  Multi-ply yarn will be better for newbies than using a single ply yarn, but if all you have is single ply, use it.
