Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)
Junk In Yer Trunk
Please join us for a crafty swap meet! Bring any craft supplies (yes, we mean ANY) you’d like to give away to a good home, and shop other stashes for some new-to-you goodies. After the swap, we’ll head inside for a sit & stitch. All guild members are welcome, as are any guests who would like to participate in the swap.
Please RSVP by Tuesday, April 7 if you would like to attend – email knitatnightguildKNIT@gmail.com and let us know how many people & vehicles you will be bringing with you. We need a count so we can reserve enough space.
Allowed: yarn, notions, tools, books, patterns, magazines, beads & jewelry supplies, fabric & sewing supplies, trims, buttons, paints, drawing supplies, sketchbooks, scrapbook paper, stamps, ink, leather & woodcraft supplies, looms, spinning wheels, easels, sewing machines, craft-related furniture, finished handmade items, anything else you can defend as “craft-adjacent”.
Not allowed: non-handmade clothes & accessories, shoes, personal care, or household items.
Additional details will be sent ONLY to those who RSVP, so please start cleaning out those craft rooms and let us know you’d like to come!

Mending Your Knits
This month, Sparrow will teach at least one (maybe more if there’s time) technique on how to mend a hole in your knitting. We will also discuss how to fix common issues with both hand-made and store-bought knits, such as split seams. Please join us!

Fix It, Finish It, or Frog It February!
Last month, we talked about our finished and unfinished projects. At our February meeting, we’re bringing all (yes, I do mean ALL) of our UFOs and helping each other get them done, one way or another. We will have tools and some supplies on hand to help finish or frog your projects, and plenty of expertise to help with anything that needs fixing.
This program is for you if:
- you have a project you don’t really want to finish, but you can’t bear to throw out;
- you’re stuck on the pattern or a technique needed to finish a project;
- your almost-finished project has a fit issue you can’t figure out;
- you just need a kick in the pants to sit down and finish a hem, sew on buttons, or weave in ends (ahem, Sparrow).
If any of these sound like you, please join us!
If KNIT is registered as your home chapter, you should have received an email on Fri, Jan 30 with more information about this meeting. If you didn’t get that email and would like to join us for this fun program, please email Sparrow so she can forward you the details!

For our January meeting, Sparrow will teach Portuguese knitting.
Portuguese style is a way of holding, tensioning, and flicking your yarn that requires minimal hand movement when switching from knit to purl stitches – perfect for ribbing!
Homework: Bring a medium-weight yarn and appropriate size needles to try out this new technique – no other accessories are necessary. If you have a pin or brooch for Portuguese knitting, please bring it to show.
Charity Event – January
SOCK’s regular chapter meeting is the same day and location from 10am-noon, all are welcome to attend! There will be plenty of time after to go get lunch, then return for the charity event at 1:30.
If anything changes and it doesn’t make it into the newsletter, be sure to check our website and Facebook group for the most up-to-date info.

Our December meeting will be a holiday party!!
Please sign up to contribute to the potluck here. We will also do a white elephant gift exchange; please bring a skein of yarn or a yarn-related gift with a retail value between $20-25. We encourage you to dive into your stash for a special yarn that you just won’t use yourself!

It’s GNOME-vember!

Charity Event – Addi Machine Knit-Off!
Come help us crank and put items together. We’ll bring several ADDI circular knitting machines. If you have one, bring it to the meeting. Yarn is provided. Please bring any other charity items to the event as well.
