Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

This month we’ll be making counting chains. This nifty little tool moves just like a stitch marker so you can keep knitting (or crocheting) uninterrupted. No more putting your project down to click a counter or tap an app on your phone!

To participate, please bring:

Small jewelry pliers (needle, round, or bent nose) – two pairs if you have them!

Any beads or charms you would like to use (or share).

We will provide the metal hardware and numbers.

Don’t want to make one? No problem! You are still welcome to join us and work on your own project.

Guests and members of other chapters are always welcome!

Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

Back by popular demand! Join us as we explore making a basket from stash yarn. We will be crocheting multiple strands and your choice of weight of yarns using a N or P hook.

The pattern is available on Ravelry: Big Beautiful Basket

If you want a preview, there is also a YouTube video.

To complete a basket, you will need 300 yards of three worsted-weight yarns, one P or N crochet hook, and at least two removable stitch markers.

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.
