For our regular meeting on February 23, we will potentially be crafting critters and flowers for an interactive flower garden at the Quilt! Knit! Stitch!™ in St. Louis, MO this April. If not, we will have a sit ‘n knit.
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!
At our February meeting, Nancy Polychronopoulos will be giving her presentation on Knitting in the Arts.
We will be taking a look at how knitting and crocheting has been represented in “Art” throughout history.
This month, we’ll be learning all about “pick up and knit“. Join us!
Fix It, Finish It, or Frog It February!
Last month, we talked about our finished and unfinished projects. At our February meeting, we’re bringing all (yes, I do mean ALL) of our UFOs and helping each other get them done, one way or another. We will have tools and some supplies on hand to help finish or frog your projects, and plenty of expertise to help with anything that needs fixing.
This program is for you if:
If any of these sound like you, please join us!

At our January 15th meeting, Naomi Enav will demonstrate and instruct members on the use of the Guild’s knitting machines. During this program Naomi will discuss the yarn weights that she has had the most success with and which yarn weights are difficult to work with.
For our January meeting, Sparrow will be visiting to teach Portuguese knitting. Portuguese style is a way of holding, tensioning, and flicking your yarn that requires minimal hand movement when switching from knit to purl stitches – perfect for ribbing!
Homework: Bring a medium-weight yarn and appropriate size needles to try out this new technique – no other accessories are necessary. If you have a pin or brooch for Portuguese knitting, please bring it to show.
