HOMEWORK: Bring appropriate needles and notions for the pattern(s) you would like to make.

Many of our members come early to Springcreek BBQ to dine as a thank you for the use of their space. Please feel free to join us!

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

Get into the spirit of the season by creating a spooky Halloween bat, ghost, or spider, or a cozy Fall leaf, pumpkin, or acorn!

Most projects can be completed during the meeting and can be made using scrap or leftover yarn from your stash.

 

Before the meeting:
Pattern ideas will be distributed so you can choose a project, find suitable yarn in your stash, and bring the necessary needles or crochet hook.

We’ll provide:

  • Fiber fill for stuffed projects
  • A limited amount of leftover yarn for those who need it

–> Members from other chapters: If you plan to attend, email knitatnightguildknit@gmail.com and we’ll add you to the pattern distribution email.

A wagon will be available for heavy loads.

Trunk or Treat!

Bring yarn and other fiber-related beauties you’d like for someone else to adopt.

We’ll hold a quick regular meeting, then adjourn to the parking lot for the stash-distribution event.
If you’re hosting a trunk show, park near the side door. We’ll move this inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Embroider Your Knitting/Crochet!

Please bring a knitted or crocheted washcloth to embellish for our charity collection. Or bring a square of a knitted/crochet item to practice on.
Please bring embroidery threads if you have them and scissors.

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

Avoid the Curl:

We have all experienced the frustration of stockinette stitch curling at cast on, bind off and the selvedge edges. At the September meeting join us for a hands-on opportunity to learn several techniques to avoid this curling at the cast on edge. Bring needles and scrap yarn to try the techniques.

We will also show & share our latest knitted/crocheted items.

Adding Beads to Your Knitting/Crochet: 

We will look at multiple ways to add beads to your knitting and crochet projects.
If you have a project on the needles, and some beads, you may bring them to practice.

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

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.

Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

At the July KIK meeting, we rescheduled our discussion of beading and learned about Fibonacci numbers.
Maggie has a brief powerpoint with a couple of links of anyone is interested in this technique.

At our August meeting, we are going to work on knitting and crocheting “on the edge”!
