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!
This month, we’ll be learning all about seaming. Join us!
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.
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!
The Contemporary Handweavers of Houston (CHH) hosts spin-ins monthly on the first Saturday of each month from 10am-12pm, 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/
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!
