Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

Avoid the Curl:

We have all experienced the frustration of stockinette stitch curling at cast on, bind off and the selvedge edges. At the September meeting join us for a hands-on opportunity to learn several techniques to avoid this curling at the cast on edge. Bring needles and scrap yarn to try the techniques.

We will also show & share our latest knitted/crocheted items.

Adding Beads to Your Knitting/Crochet: 

We will look at multiple ways to add beads to your knitting and crochet projects.
If you have a project on the needles, and some beads, you may bring them to practice.

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

When you are standing in the yarn store with your pattern and you are looking at all the colors of yarn, and you need four or is it five colors for your project?
Come, listen, and learn because Hazel Kjos will be presenting a program on “Understanding the Characteristics and Relationships of Color, and How to Choose Them to Your Best Advantage.”

Attendees will receive a color wheel to keep in their project bags to take with them when going yarn shopping.

Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

At the July KIK meeting, we rescheduled our discussion of beading and learned about Fibonacci numbers.
Maggie has a brief powerpoint with a couple of links of anyone is interested in this technique.

At our August meeting, we are going to work on knitting and crocheting “on the edge”!

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

Join us for an interesting group discussion – “Why do I knit/crochet? What motivates me to continue?”

SoCK is planning a Holiday Stocking KAL/CAL!

For our August meeting, Kristi will lead a discussion about creating and embellishing a stocking.
We’ll discuss patterns, and any weight yarn may be used to make the stocking.
Embellishment ideas include holiday motifs, beading, duplicate stitches, embroidery, etc.

We hope to share our finished stockings at the Holiday Party in December. Come join the fun!
