Your Executive Board will have their Q4 meeting via zoom.
We will be having our monthly meeting on May 18 instead of May 30 due to Memorial Day.
We will be having a notions and tool swap, please feel free to join us!
Many members arrive early to dine at the restaurant as a thank you for allowing us to use their space.
Irene will be teaching us about color theory. Please join us!
This month we’ll learn a little bit about Intarsia and complete a swatch.
If you wish to participate, please bring two contrasting colors of yarn (worsted or heavy worsted recommended) and appropriate needles. You’ll need 12-15 yards of your main color and 4-5 yards of the contrast color.
If you have bobbins, feel free to bring them – you’ll need 3. You can also make your own bobbins from cereal boxes, use a clothespin, or wind yarn into a butterfly (all of which we’ll cover in the program).
Blocking Makes It Better!
Join us for a discussion on blocking your knitted and crocheted items. We’ll talk about why to block your items and explore the methods and tools to achieve the results you want. Plus, there will be examples of blocked and unblocked items. Bring your questions and blocking tips to share!
