KNOW Meeting – Knitting for Babies

The March meeting of KNOW will feature a program on Knitting for Babies by Amy Rodgers. There are so many great ideas for adorable and useful baby gifts, and since they’re small, what a great way to try a new pattern or technique. Join us as we discuss patterns, yarn, stroller blankets, car seat blankets, hats, booties, and of course baby sweaters. Bring any items you’ve made, recommendations for patterns and any new knitters who would be interested in knitting or crocheting for babies. We love visitors!

We’ll have 2 patterns for knitting simple baby booties made on 2 straight needles and if you’re ready, a simple sock pattern with a turned heel. An extra DPN, crochet hook and a tapestry needle for sewing may be helpful.

Members are also invited to show and share any of your completed projects.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on March 27th!

KNOW Meeting – Upcycling

The February meeting of KNOW will feature a program on Upcycling by Nancy.

Join us as we discuss what is upcycling, the impact of the textile industry on the environment, and things we can do as fiber artists/enthusiasts to change our impact. Let’s not be part of the problem, but part of the solution!

Members are also invited to show and share any of your completed projects.

KNOW Meeting – Amigurumi

KNOW’s January meeting will be on Amigurumi, presented by our Guild’s very own Marie Knappenberger.

Amigurumi is the Japanese craft of crocheting small stuffed toys, such as animals, play food, or dolls. This will be a fun way to try out a new craft or share any items you have already made.

Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome. We’re looking forward to seeing you on January 30th!
