  2. White Elephant Yarn Exchange – Bring a wrapped (doesn’t have to be fancy, a plain bag will do) skein of nice yarn (no acrylic please) for a fun exchange of yarn.
  3. Show and share of your recently completed projects.

KNIT Meeting – Members Helping Members

Members Helping Members

Have a project in the back of your closet or designated as hibernating on Ravelry because you need assistance with a stitch, instructions or technique? Brush the cobwebs off the project, bring it to the meeting to take advantage of the expertise of other members, and get your project back on track.

Also, be sure to bring your recently completed projects for Show & Share!

While we hope to see you all in person, there will be a zoom option also available for those who unable to make it.  Just send a note to knitatnightguildknit@gmail.com and we will forward you the dial-in information if you are not on our chapter mailing list.

KNIT Meeting – Cast-ons / Cast-offs (continued…!)

This is a great combo for brioche, double knitting, two color rib, etc.

KNIT Zoom Meeting – Color Theory

Join us Tuesday June 8 at 6:30 via Zoom for a presentation and play about Color Theory with Kyla Crawford from Kyla’s Lab yarns. Kyla will guide us through theories on color as well as through some exercises and play with color. So unleash your mind. And bring a box of crayons – or colored pencils – something you can use to color inside and outside the lines.
We’ll send out a Zoom invitation for the June meeting.
And keep watching your mailbox — we plan to be back in person later this summer. Details to come.

KNIT Zoom Meeting – Scrappy Ray shawl

We are so excited to have engaged Designer Thamo Hurly to teach her Scrappy Ray Shawl. We have limited availability to other chapter members to join our chapter. The fee for joining (if you don’t belong to KNIT) is $25 (includes pattern). Have you ever wondered how to use up all those scraps of yarn that you keep in your stash? This is the perfect class to help solve that problem.  Thamo will teach us how to get the most of our leftovers or minis to produce a shawl that you will be proud to wear or gift. We have availability for 6 more knitters. This is going to be a GREAT KNIT meeting.
How to join: email Paula at pdctexas@gmail.com to determine if space is available space and how to pay.
