KNIT Mtg – Holiday Party

Please join us for our annual Christmas Party Potluck at Trini Mendenhall. We will have a white elephant gift exchange of yarn-related items. We’ll also be discussing and preparing for some exciting new upcoming programs for the chapter!

 
Homework: 
Please bring a pattern (or a photo of an FO) for a cowl with cables that you are too intimidated to try yourself or have always wanted to knit!”

KNOW Mtg – Show us your favorites!

Everyone has that favorite project, pattern, yarn, or notion.  This is something that is not one of your current show and share items(unless it is one of your favorites).  Maybe it’s yarn that been in your stash for years, a project that you have always loved, or a notion that you can’t live without.  Please bring yours to our November meeting for a mega show and share.  Be prepared to tell us why it is your favorite – Is it super cozy or squishy?, Was it super challenging?  It is a quick knit that is great for gift-giving? Maybe it holds some sentimental meaning.

A group of our members arrive early to eat before the meeting. Please feel free to join us.
KNOT Mtg – Simple Brioche

KNOT Mtg – Simple Brioche

The November KNOT meeting will be held the 3rd Thursday (Nov 17), in place of the 4th Thursday (Thanksgiving).  Please note that the December meeting will be held on the 3rd Thursday of December.
 
The November program will be a presentation by Sue Werner on the simple, single-color Brioche stitch. The Brioche Stitch is reversible and looks a bit like a 1×1 rib. It’s not knit that way!! The result is a thick stretchy fabric that is great for hats, scarves, and sweaters.  Please join us for a fun evening!
KIK Mtg – Christmas Ornaments!

KIK Mtg – Christmas Ornaments!

This month’s program is crocheted Christmas ornaments. 

 

You will need DK weight yarn( not Sugar and Cream), crochet hooks sizes 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm or sizes to go with your yarn. The pattern will be taught by Gloria Stafford. 

SoCK Mtg – Knitting Backwards

Learn to knit backwards!  A skill that comes in handy when you have little rows, short rows, or a really, really BIG row that you don’t feel like turning around.  This technique comes in handy in lots of ways.

 

Bring some worsted/aran weight yarn (lighter colors are better) and needles to match (size 8 – 10).

CHIX Mtg – Create Your Own Braided Cord

This month’s meeting will be on Veterans Day but the center will be open and we will be there.
 
We will be doing the “CREATE YOUR OWN BRAIDED CORD”. Let me show you how to create your own cords for future projects using the very yarns that you knit and crochet with. I will provide the templates.
 
Please bring scissors that you don’t mind cutting paper with, worsted yarn, and a ruler. The little gauge rulers will be fine.
KNIT Mtg – Knitter’s Yoga

KNIT Mtg – Knitter’s Yoga

Our meeting will be held the 3rd Tuesday in November due to election day on the 8th.

Do you suffer from knit-i-tis?  A condition associated with knitting for hours and hours; symptoms include stiffness of the fingers, tightness of the neck, achy shoulders, and sore back.  If you have any or all of these signs, hope you will join us in learning different yoga stretches, exercises and perhaps a few poses to alleviate these “terrible” pains.  The program is presented by Shuwen Reger, a certified yoga instructor.
