Our sweater series is drawing to a close. It’s time for closure on our sweaters! Button Bands! (Did you see what I did there?)
At the October meeting, we will discuss various buttonholes you can knit, how to plan out their placement, and how to stabilize buttons on a knitted garment. In the workshop portion, we will pick up and knit a button band with buttonholes.
*NOTE: Please bring two 3 x 6 blocked stockinette pieces in worsted weight yarn, knitting needles the same size you knitted with, and additional worsted weight yarn to knit the bands.
Also, if you have any additional questions or concerns particular to your project, please email your questions to cathy@drake-family.net. And I will prepare my best answers for the meeting to help you be successful. Don’t forget that December will be our show and tell time!
I’m finishing up my sweater for then too.

Bringing it Alive with Seaming – hands-on workshop and seaming demonstration
Seaming techniques for shoulders, vertical and horizontal adjustments
Are you making good progress on your sweaters this year? I hope this month’s topic catches you when you are getting close to putting your sweater together. This month we will delve into seaming. We will be seaming horizontally, vertically, and cast-on to cast-off.
You must prepare and block several small swatches in worsted-weight yarn to participate. Please use a long-tail cast-on and a regular bind-off.
Please make two 3″ x 6″ swatches and two 3″ x 3″ squares. It might be easiest if they aren’t in variegated yarn. Bring the swatches, a ruler, calculator or other way to do math, a pencil, a yarn needle, and yarn scraps to use in seaming. You may choose to use a different color for seaming so you can see what is happening.

Join us for a program on the Basics of Tunisian Crochet. Tracy Reid will be showing us how to do this fun craft.
No homework is necessary, but those who would like to try making a small swatch can bring some light-colored worsted or DK weight yarn and a straight, non-ergonomic crochet hook that is 2 to 3 sizes larger than what is recommended for the yarn.
A Tunisian crochet hook is not necessary for a small sample, but if you already have one feel free to bring it. An instructional handout will be provided for those who want to try practicing on their own. Tracy will bring finished projects, swatches, tools and a couple books to share as well.
She will be using this free pattern for the demo and swatch.
