Knitted Knockers Night
We will learn a few tips on making knockers using 2 circulars, magic loop or double points.
For those willing to support this effort, patterns and Caboo yarn will be available to take home. Each cake makes 3-4 knockers. A great small project for hot summer days.
Yarn for this charity effort has been purchased with KNIT Chapter funds.
Thank you again for supporting the Linus Project. If you took blankets home to finish, please bring them to this meeting if at all possible.
As always please bring show and share items — old or new!
