KNIT’s July program:
Crystal Smith will lead the July program – the topic is “Knitting with Beads”.
Any materials needed or homework will be supplied in an email to KNIT members.
Also, be sure to bring your recently completed projects for Show & Share!
A zoom option is available for those unable to attend in person. Email Karen at knitatnightguildknit@gmail.
Sock member, Ann Wohn, will present a program on “Fun Fiber Crafts” with a focus this month on needle felting. Come learn about supplies, cathartic techniques, and how to get started with a simple clump of wool or felt sheets!
While we hope to see you in-person for, there will also be a zoom option for those who are unable to attend live. Just send a note to knitatnightguildsock@gmail.com and we will forward you the dial-in if you are not on our chapter mailing list.
The June meeting of the KIND chapter will be a “Sock Clinic“.
Those who are proficient in sock knitting are going to help those who aren’t with tricks to help all be more successful sock knitters.
Katy Lace Knitters will be meeting at the Toasted Yolk on Tuesday, June 7th, at 10 am.
Please bring ideas for our “Fall Education Series“.
Please email me at joshanmom@aol.com if you can attend. The restaurant likes a head count.
KNOW’s June program will be an “Introduction to Crewel Embroidery on Hand Knits“.
We’ll be exploring the very hot trend of visible mending on garments and learning how to add embellishments to our hand knitted items. The visible mending movement has been driven by people interested in sustainability and who are concerned by the environmental impact of “fast fashion”.
If you’d like to try crewel embroidery you’re invited to “shop your closet” and bring a knitted garment, or maybe a swatch or a dishcloth to work on.
You’ll also need a blunt tapestry needle and some fingering or worsted weight scrap yarn, or embroidery floss, or needlepoint tapestry yarn (we’ll bring some too). If you’ve done visible mending before, please bring in any examples to share with other members and inspire us all.
Members are also invited to show and share any of your completed projects.
Members often arrive early to visit over dinner and show their support to the restaurant for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome.
Most of us have knitted a shawl or two, so let’s show off our work and compare notes.
Bring your favorite shawl to show and share!! Also, please bring the pattern, yarn, and needle size you used. We can all get some ideas for future projects.
Summer is here and it is HOT! What better way to cool off than with some Kool Aid? Instead of drinking it, SoCK 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).
Materials to be provided for those in-person; otherwise, 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 SoCK chapter member, be sure to send an email to SoCK for the information.
We do hope to see you all in-person for this event; however, there will also be a zoom option for those who are unable to attend live. Just send a note to knitatnightguildsock@gmail.com and we will forward you the dial-in if you are not on our chapter mailing list.
Katy Lace Knitters will meet on Tuesday May 3rd at 10 am at the Toasted Yolk (located on the southwest corner of I-10 and 99, by Costco).
Bring your “Europa” shawl and ideas for our continuing education.
Please reply to joshanmom@aol.com to let me know who plans to attend.
KNOW’s May program will be a “Celebration of Charity Knitting”.
We’ll share patterns, recommendations for projects and techniques, items we’ve made (a show and share for charity items) and of course we’ll knit charity items.
Members are also invited to show and share any of your completed projects.
Members often arrive early to visit over dinner and show their support to the restaurant for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome.
Come and learn how to knit a beaded I-cord necklace from sock yarn scraps!
