KNOT Meeting – Beaded bracelet

At our June 24 meeting, Carla Farris will be teaching how to make your choice of a knitted beaded bracelet or a beaded crocheted rope. You will need to have your beads threaded and ready to begin at that time. You will also need to have printed out the instructions for whichever item you choose to make. Carla had emailed several beading attachments after the March meeting, so you can look at the photos to decide which you prefer. If you no longer have the information, please contact Marilee (dgbelanger@att.net) to have it sent to you again. Some additional information will also be sent to you to aid in choosing and stringing your beads.

KNOW Meeting – Knitting increases

We are returning to Spring Creek Barbeque for the first time in 15 months. This will be our first in-person meeting based on a vote of the Chapter members. Spring Creek said that they do not have any COVID restrictions in place for the use of their community/back room. Some members did not vote on the return to in-person meetings, and others expressed their concern about participating in a large group. We want this to be a positive experience for all KNOW members, so we are asking all to be sensitive to the concerns of others. It would be helpful if members bring a mask to wear during the meeting in case we have attendees who are not fully vaccinated. If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Threadgold, KNOW President. We hope to be able to ZOOM our program as well, but we are still working on the logistics. If you would like to attend the meeting via Zoom, please sent an email to that effect to knitatnightguildKNOW@gmail.com and we will try to accommodate you.
Members from other chapters wishing to attend our meeting are always welcome to do so.
Amy Rodgers will be presenting our June program. She will be presenting a program on increases, including a sampler or pared increases from KFB, M1, YO, twists and when to use them. Attendees are asked to bring either DK or worsted yarn and appropriate needles. A handout will be provided. Amy intends to discuss the issue of where distortion may matter in top-down garments or gussets.

KIND Meeting

We will meet at the Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet (near Bissonnet and Hillcroft) at 10am on June 17.

We will continue working on Cheryl Brunette’s sweater pattern. The website for the class is https://howtoknitasweater.com . Please watch the videos through #10 before the meeting.

KIK Zoom Meeting – Chinese Waitress cast on/bind off

Program will be presented by Connie Blakley
The KIK program for June will be a demonstration of the Chinese Waitress cast on and bind off stitches. This technique produces a lovely edge that looks the same on the right side and wrong side of your fabric and also looks the same on the cast-on and bind-off edges. It is an excellent choice for exposed edges on garments such as shawls and scarves. If you wish to knit along during the meeting, bring some yarn, knitting needles appropriately sized for your yarn choice, and a crochet hook.
Please send an email to KIK President (knitatnightguildkik@gmail.com) if you are not a chapter member and wish to attend.

CHIX Zoom Meeting – Future of chapter

Calling all Chix members. We must discuss the future of the CHIX chapter. Hope to see you at the next meeting. Let’s see what’s on the needles and off. Let’s show and share.

KNIT Zoom Meeting – Color Theory

Join us Tuesday June 8 at 6:30 via Zoom for a presentation and play about Color Theory with Kyla Crawford from Kyla’s Lab yarns. Kyla will guide us through theories on color as well as through some exercises and play with color. So unleash your mind. And bring a box of crayons – or colored pencils – something you can use to color inside and outside the lines.
We’ll send out a Zoom invitation for the June meeting.
And keep watching your mailbox — we plan to be back in person later this summer. Details to come.

KNOT Meeting – Challenge 2021

KNOT will be meeting from on Thursday, May 27th from 6-8 pm at El Palenque 1485 Spring Cypress 77373.
Program: Members, please bring your Challenge 2021 projects to share whether you’re finished, in progress or not yet started. Members can share why they chose what they’re knitting and what they hope to learn from it.

KNOW Zoom Meeting – Yarn dyeing

Knitter’s Night Out West meets from 7:00 pm – 8:30pm on the last Monday of each month (EXCEPT IN MAY and December). While we normally meet at Spring Creek Barbeque, 21000 Katy Freeway, I-10 at Westgreen Blvd in Katy, currently we are holding Zoom meetings.
Chapter members, please watch your email for a poll regarding when we should resume in-person meetings. May 24th is a Zoom meeting so watch for your invitation around May 20.
Members from other chapters wishing to attend our meeting are always welcome to do so. Please email KNOW prior to May 21st to be sure to receive a Zoom invitation.
KNOW members will head to the kitchen and do some yarn dyeing in the microwave with Kool Aid!  Dyeing with food dyes is an easy, fun, and safe way to become an indie dyer for a day.  You can use any white or light-colored yarn that is animal fiber (wool, mohair, etc., no cottons or acrylics.) Check your stash for leftovers or unloved hanks and give them a makeover with this fun technique.  We will send out a full list of materials ahead of our meeting, so if you are not a KNOW chapter member be sure to send an email to KNOW for the information and Zoom invite as soon as possible.
