CHH Spinners – Spin At Night

The Contemporary Handweavers of Houston (CHH) hosts spin-ins twice a month, the first Saturday of each month from 10-12 am, and the third Tuesday of the month at 6:00 pm. Both are held at the CHH Guild House, 1425 Blalock, 2nd floor.

If you are a spinner, bring your wheel, drop spindle or e-spinner and check out our group and the guild.

Occasionally meeting schedules will vary, so please check the CHH website calendar before heading out. For this and other information, see  http://www.weavehouston.org/

Katy Lace Knitters – 3 Needle BO

Katy Lace Knitters will meet on Tuesday, August 1st, at 11 am, at the Luby’s on south Mason Road.

We will be discussing the three needle bind off.

To participate, make 2 swatches of 10 stitches by 10 rows of stockinette stitch. Leave them both on the needles. Bring a 3rd needle to do the bind off.

Stay after the meeting to visit and eat lunch. Hope to see everyone there.

KIND Meeting – 10 Stitch Technique

Hazel Kjos will guide us in learning the Ten Stitch Technique, an easy way to make square objects such as blankets.

For homework: take a favorite solid-colored yarn, cast on 10 stitches and knit in garter stitch for 20 rows (10 ridges.) Slip the first stitch of each row and knit all the way to the last stitch of each row.

At the meeting, Hazel will show the process of mitering to create sharp corners and continuing around the central piece to enlarge it, similar to a Log Cabin Barn Raising quilting pattern.
