When you are standing in the yarn store with your pattern and you are looking at all the colors of yarn, and you need four or is it five colors for your project?
Come, listen, and learn because Hazel Kjos will be presenting a program on “Understanding the Characteristics and Relationships of Color, and How to Choose Them to Your Best Advantage.”
Attendees will receive a color wheel to keep in their project bags to take with them when going yarn shopping.
At the July KIK meeting, we rescheduled our discussion of beading and learned about Fibonacci numbers.

At our August meeting, we are going to work on knitting and crocheting “on the edge”!
Join us for an interesting group discussion – “Why do I knit/crochet? What motivates me to continue?”
We will also discuss ideas for programs for the upcoming year.
Bring your knitting/crochet to work on during the meeting and items to show and share.
SoCK is planning a Holiday Stocking KAL/CAL!
For our August meeting, Kristi will lead a discussion about creating and embellishing a stocking.
We’ll discuss patterns, and any weight yarn may be used to make the stocking.
Embellishment ideas include holiday motifs, beading, duplicate stitches, embroidery, etc.
We hope to share our finished stockings at the Holiday Party in December. Come join the fun!
At our July meeting we will begin work on our next charity project. It was decided that we would knit and crochet wash clothes for charity.
As part of the process of working on this project, we are going to have a presentation on “crocheting for knitters” and we will have patterns for those that would like to learn and those who are proficient at crocheting available. Knitting patterns will also be provided at the meeting.
More information will be sent prior to our meeting.
Our July program is about knitting with beads.
Please join us!
At our June meeting we are planning to get ahead of our 26-27 program schedule. We encourage members to attend and give their input of programs they would like to have provided during our next chapter year.
Last month we had a lesson on color theory given by Irene Piatek. Lots of info and everyone got a color wheel.
This month we will be doing a KAL/CAL market bag.
Come prepared to talk about your very favorite thing you have ever knit or crocheted. Bring the item if possible, or a photo!
Our programming for the meeting will be a casual craft & chat. Non-yarn crafts are welcome! Bring whatever it is you are working on, or any projects you could use some help with.
