SoCK Meeting – All About Shawls
If our recent lace program piqued your interest in lace knitting, our March program will introduce you to common shawl shapes and how they incorporate lace patterns in their designs. Come see some fabulous shawls by Roxanne Rump and get inspired to make one of your own!
KNOW Meeting – Upcycling
The February meeting of KNOW will feature a program on Upcycling by Nancy.
Join us as we discuss what is upcycling, the impact of the textile industry on the environment, and things we can do as fiber artists/enthusiasts to change our impact. Let’s not be part of the problem, but part of the solution!
Members are also invited to show and share any of your completed projects.
Members often arrive early to visit over dinner and show their support to the restaurant for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome.
KIND Meeting – Knitting in the Round
The KIND group will look at the various methods of knitting in the round for small-diameter projects like socks, mittens, and cosy koozies.
All are encouraged to bring fingering-weight yarn and appropriate needles, and we’ll collectively demo and share what we like about using our tools, whether it be circulars (short, extra-long for magic loop, or in pairs), cool new flexi-flips, or good old double-pointed straights.

KNOW Meeting – Amigurumi
KNOW’s January meeting will be on Amigurumi, presented by our Guild’s very own Marie Knappenberger.
Amigurumi is the Japanese craft of crocheting small stuffed toys, such as animals, play food, or dolls. This will be a fun way to try out a new craft or share any items you have already made.
Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome. We’re looking forward to seeing you on January 30th!
KIND Meeting – Mosaic (Colorwork pt. 1)
KIND will begin a series of programs on colorwork.
For January, we will focus on mosaic knitting. Mosaic is one of the easiest ways to do complex colorwork patterns but uses only one color at a time. Come join us at the meeting to learn about mosaic knitting and try out one of these patterns.
To participate, you’ll need two colors of the same yarn, a light and a dark (take a photo and use your phone to convert it monochrome/black-and-white to ensure good contrast!). For needles, you can use circular or straight needles, but select ones 1-2 sizes larger than you would normally use for that yarn.
KIK Meeting – Open Knitting & Charity
JANUARY MEETING LOCATION: We will meet UPSTAIRS in the Conference Room

This month we will have Open Knitting and a discussion about the plans for our charity knitting for the new year.
Whether you’ve finished or are still working on the Scrappy Cowl, bring it in to share!
Bring your finished projects for Show and Share!
