Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

Junk In Yer Trunk

Please join us for a crafty swap meet! Bring any craft supplies (yes, we mean ANY) you’d like to give away to a good home, and shop other stashes for some new-to-you goodies. After the swap, we’ll head inside for a sit & stitch. All guild members are welcome, as are any guests who would like to participate in the swap.

Please RSVP by Tuesday, April 7 if you would like to attend – email knitatnightguildKNIT@gmail.com and let us know how many people & vehicles you will be bringing with you. We need a count so we can reserve enough space.

Allowed: yarn, notions, tools, books, patterns, magazines, beads & jewelry supplies, fabric & sewing supplies, trims, buttons, paints, drawing supplies, sketchbooks, scrapbook paper, stamps, ink, leather & woodcraft supplies, looms, spinning wheels, easels, sewing machines, craft-related furniture, finished handmade items, anything else you can defend as “craft-adjacent”.

Not allowed: non-handmade clothes & accessories, shoes, personal care, or household items.

Additional details will be sent ONLY to those who RSVP, so please start cleaning out those craft rooms and let us know you’d like to come!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

We will be finishing the flowers that we started in the February program. There will be stems and other tools needed to place the flowers on stems.

Many of our members often come early to dine at the restaurant and show appreciation for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. All KANG members and visitors are welcome!

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

At our March 19th meeting our topic will be “OMG, Spring is almost here and I still have WIP’s and stash that needs to be used!”

We will bring our WIP’s and bring a skein from our stash to get ideas from others how to use it. We will also discuss why Frogging a project isn’t a sign of failure.

Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

Sweater Construction

What makes one sweater style fit perfectly while another style isn’t so great? What’s “ease,” positive or negative? Why are some sleeves comfortable and others not? Sweater construction is the foundation of how a garment looks and fits. Marla Senter Morris will guide us through the basics of sweater construction and help make the thought of such a big project less intimidating.

Mending Your Knits

This month, Sparrow will teach at least one (maybe more if there’s time) technique on how to mend a hole in your knitting. We will also discuss how to fix common issues with both hand-made and store-bought knits, such as split seams. Please join us!
