Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

This month we’ll learn a little bit about Intarsia and complete a swatch.

If you wish to participate, please bring two contrasting colors of yarn (worsted or heavy worsted recommended) and appropriate needles. You’ll need 12-15 yards of your main color and 4-5 yards of the contrast color.

If you have bobbins, feel free to bring them – you’ll need 3. You can also make your own bobbins from cereal boxes, use a clothespin, or wind yarn into a butterfly (all of which we’ll cover in the program).

Blocking Makes It Better!

Join us for a discussion on blocking your knitted and crocheted items. We’ll talk about why to block your items and explore the methods and tools to achieve the results you want. Plus, there will be examples of blocked and unblocked items. Bring your questions and blocking tips to share!

Knitting with Wire

Kathy Wells will show us how creativity abounds as we make a necklace using knitted wire shapes, beads, and various cords or ribbons.

Bring your own needles (sizes 5-6), double-points, or an E-F crochet hook. Wood/bamboo is less slippery. Don’t use your good needles; wire is rough on them!
Bring 2-3 stitch holders and jewelry pliers, if you have them.

For those who RSVP, wire, jewelry findings, cords, and a selection of beads will be supplied. If you bring beads, they should be M-L and have holes big enough for fingering-weight yarn to pass through.

Junk In Yer Trunk

Please join us for a crafty swap meet! Bring any craft supplies (yes, we mean ANY) you’d like to give away to a good home, and shop other stashes for some new-to-you goodies. After the swap, we’ll head inside for a sit & stitch. All guild members are welcome, as are any guests who would like to participate in the swap.

Please RSVP by Tuesday, April 7 if you would like to attend – email knitatnightguildKNIT@gmail.com and let us know how many people & vehicles you will be bringing with you. We need a count so we can reserve enough space.

Allowed: yarn, notions, tools, books, patterns, magazines, beads & jewelry supplies, fabric & sewing supplies, trims, buttons, paints, drawing supplies, sketchbooks, scrapbook paper, stamps, ink, leather & woodcraft supplies, looms, spinning wheels, easels, sewing machines, craft-related furniture, finished handmade items, anything else you can defend as “craft-adjacent”.

Not allowed: non-handmade clothes & accessories, shoes, personal care, or household items.

Additional details will be sent ONLY to those who RSVP, so please start cleaning out those craft rooms and let us know you’d like to come!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

We will be finishing the flowers that we started in the February program. There will be stems and other tools needed to place the flowers on stems.

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 March 19th meeting our topic will be “OMG, Spring is almost here and I still have WIP’s and stash that needs to be used!”

We will bring our WIP’s and bring a skein from our stash to get ideas from others how to use it. We will also discuss why Frogging a project isn’t a sign of failure.

Sweater Construction

What makes one sweater style fit perfectly while another style isn’t so great? What’s “ease,” positive or negative? Why are some sleeves comfortable and others not? Sweater construction is the foundation of how a garment looks and fits. Marla Senter Morris will guide us through the basics of sweater construction and help make the thought of such a big project less intimidating.
