Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW) – April 29, 6:30pm – 8:30pm

 WHEN: Last Monday of the month (Except May and December), 6:30-8:30pm

WHERE: Spring Creek Barbeque, 21000 Katy Freeway, I-10 at Westgreen Blvd, Katy, TX

 The April meeting will be all about shaping issues. We will be discussing how short rows can help make your sweater fit better in the bust, arm, tummy, and back. Amy Rogers will be discussing how to make adjustments using short rows, such as reshaping sleeves for your size, adding more stitches to accommodate a bigger chest, and so on. 

 Members often arrive early to visit and have dinner at the restaurant to show support for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Guild members and visitors are welcome.

February’s program will be given in March. We will take the next steps in preparing to knit a sweater – yarn selection. We will look at potential yarns, their types and compositions, and how these will affect your project’s results. Most importantly, we will be tackling the dreaded gauge swatch. This necessary step will make sure that your sweater fits you. Please knit 3 – 6” x 6” swatches in the different potential sweater yarn choices using the appropriate needle size. (You can certainly make more than these). Wash and block them. We will be measuring gauge to see which yarns/needle combinations are appropriate for knitting your sweater. Please bring a straight-edge ruler, straight pins, and have a calculator handy to compute your gauge.
