Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)
THINK COOL!
Join us as we think about making new and fun holiday gifts and decorations.
Bring along knitted or crocheted items or photos to show off your favorites and warn us off the “this was too much aggravation” projects!
We are excited to see what everyone has to offer!!
Of course we love to see any WIPs or help out with any problem knitting if we can.
Don’t forget to bring your charity items.
Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)
Plans for the Coming Year!!
July’s meeting is a combination of a sit & knit and planning our next year’s programs.
We’ll ask volunteers to claim a particular month. We don’t need you to know exactly what your program will be, just volunteer for a time slot.
We’ll do the same thing for Door Prize volunteers. After that, we’ll show and share finished projects and have a relaxing time just sitting and knitting (or crocheting). Please come be part of this!
Katy Lace Knitters
Katy Lace Knitters will meet on Tuesday, JULY 9th due to the 4th of July holiday. We will meet at Luby’s on South Mason Road at 11 am.
We will be discussing how to alter a pattern to make it larger or smaller. If you have a pattern you would like help to alter, bring it with you.
Stay after the meeting to eat lunch and visit. Please let me know if you plan to attend at [email protected].
