Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

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!

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

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!

Join us as Karen Fern leads the group in a gnome make-along and shares her tips and tricks.
More info regarding patterns, materials, and any necessary homework will be sent to closer to the meeting, so please email knitatnightguildKNIT@gmail.com if you are interested in participating and have a home chapter other than ours!

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.

Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

This month we’ll be knitting or crocheting pumpkins! Start searching your stash for those pumpkin-colored yarns and join us!

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

This month we’ll be making counting chains. This nifty little tool moves just like a stitch marker so you can keep knitting (or crocheting) uninterrupted. No more putting your project down to click a counter or tap an app on your phone!

To participate, please bring:

Small jewelry pliers (needle, round, or bent nose) – two pairs if you have them!

Any beads or charms you would like to use (or share).

We will provide the metal hardware and numbers.

Don’t want to make one? No problem! You are still welcome to join us and work on your own project.

Guests and members of other chapters are always welcome!

Amy Campbell will be presenting a program on mosaic knitting. If you would like to try it yourself, please bring two contrasting colors of yarn in the same weight and appropriate needles for your yarn. A pattern for a sample square will be provided!

Guests and members of other chapters are always welcome!
