Our next charity event is Saturday, April 12 from 11-3 at Spring Creek Barbeque, 21000 Katy Fwy, Katy. This event is hosted by KNOW!
A guest speaker from The Landing will talk about their clients’ needs that crafters can support such as soap sacks or pouches.
We recommend the Anything Knit Pouch pattern by Mama in a Stitch, which is made with super bulky yarn on size US 13 needles.
Yarn, thread and buttons will be provided April 12
Experience the magic of short rows.
Short rows let you add interesting design elements to your projects and improve the fit of your garments. Practice Wrap & Turn, German, Japanese, and Twin Stitch (fish lips kiss) techniques. Learn why some methods are more suited to stockinette and garter stitch and why some are more visible on the back side of your work.
Bring smooth yarn (worsted or DK weight) and suitable needles.
We have 15 Head Start hats on hand and 8 kits with pattern and pre-cut yarn are ready to go. Contact wheeler.julie@comcast.net for more info. The goal is to have 50 hats ready by October 1 for distribution to HISD schools.
We also have several kits for Knitted Knockers ready to go. These are always in demand and we’d love to collect as many as we can for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October!
Our charity yarn stash is running low, please consider donating or asking friends to search their stash for acrylic yarns of various weights.

Speaking of stash, Ravelry has several patterns including the Snippet Scarf and Stashbuster Scarf that create fringe instead of ends to weave in. The Fidget Sleeve is also a good stash eater.
We have many infant hats. Please consider making an infant blanket 24″x36″ or larger that will go to Project Linus or LBJ pediatric unit.
Your Executive Board will have the fourth quarterly meeting via Zoom.
