Join us for two activities to “cast on” the new KNIT year. We have six members demonstrating unique knitting stitches with swatches and pattern applications. Come learn something fun from our own talented knitters. Also, everyone can participate as we survey the group for potential program activitities for the upcoming year – from KALs to skills and techniques. We really want your input. As usual, show and share is a favorite way to end the meeting, so bring your completed projects for all the “ohs and ahs!”

SoCK Meeting – Peace Pals
Join us in making Pocket Peace Pals with Kate Wilson! Using scrap worsted weight yarn, cast on 32 stitches and knit 50 rows in a stripe pattern. Then sew it up, stuff it, add a few details, and you have a Pocket Peace Pal! See the pattern here.
Bring in your Peace Pal ready to sew up, or bring scrap yarn and we’ll knit them up in the meeting. Either way, we’ll have some great Pals to forward to children in global areas of conflict.
Please make the face area medium or dark brown.
CHIX Meeting – Future of CHIX
This month, we will sit, knit, crochet, and discuss the future of Chix. We have only one month, this August meeting, to elect a President for our chapter or we will no longer be supported by KANG. Please, please, please think about it. See you at the next meeting.
KNOW Meeting – Preemie Hats
On Monday, July 29, we at KNOW are hosting a benefit for the NICU at Texas Children’s Hospital in Katy. We will be knitting and crocheting preemie hats, so bring your soft, brightly-colored yarn scraps and appropriate needles. Leftover, superwash sock yarn is perfect for these tiny hats. The NICU is also accepting baby blankets for those of you who are so inclined.
We will be providing patterns for both knitted and crocheted versions of preemie hats. These patterns are written in the round using fingering/sport-weight yarn and size 4 needles/size 7 hooks. You are also welcome to bring your favorite patterns, bearing in mind that your hats should fit anywhere from a lemon to an orange.
Please join us so that we can have a robust response to the needs of the babies at Texas Children’s. See you there!
