Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

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:

  • you have a project you don’t really want to finish, but you can’t bear to throw out;
  • you’re stuck on the pattern or a technique needed to finish a project;
  • your almost-finished project has a fit issue you can’t figure out;
  • you just need a kick in the pants to sit down and finish a hem, sew on buttons, or weave in ends (ahem, Sparrow).

If any of these sound like you, please join us!

If KNIT is registered as your home chapter, you should have received an email on Fri, Jan 30 with more information about this meeting. If you didn’t get that email and would like to join us for this fun program, please email Sparrow so she can forward you the details!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW) — January RESCHEDULED

We will be presenting our completed KALs from November and showing our current WIPs.

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!

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

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.

Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

**Please note the date change!**

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.
