Mending Your Knits
This month, Sparrow will teach at least one (maybe more if there’s time) technique on how to mend a hole in your knitting. We will also discuss how to fix common issues with both hand-made and store-bought knits, such as split seams. Please join us!
At our February meeting, Nancy Polychronopoulos will be giving her presentation on Knitting in the Arts.
We will be taking a look at how knitting and crocheting has been represented in “Art” throughout history.
This month, we’ll be learning all about “pick up and knit“. Join us!
Fix It, Finish It, or Frog It February!
Last month, we talked about our finished and unfinished projects. At our February meeting, we’re bringing all (yes, I do mean ALL) of our UFOs and helping each other get them done, one way or another. We will have tools and some supplies on hand to help finish or frog your projects, and plenty of expertise to help with anything that needs fixing.
This program is for you if:
If any of these sound like you, please join us!
If KNIT is registered as your home chapter, you should have received an email on Fri, Jan 30 with more information about this meeting. If you didn’t get that email and would like to join us for this fun program, please email Sparrow so she can forward you the details!
We will be presenting our completed KALs from November and showing our current WIPs.
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!
At our January 15th meeting, Naomi Enav will demonstrate and instruct members on the use of the Guild’s knitting machines. During this program Naomi will discuss the yarn weights that she has had the most success with and which yarn weights are difficult to work with.
For our January meeting, Sparrow will be visiting to teach Portuguese knitting. Portuguese style is a way of holding, tensioning, and flicking your yarn that requires minimal hand movement when switching from knit to purl stitches – perfect for ribbing!
Homework: Bring a medium-weight yarn and appropriate size needles to try out this new technique – no other accessories are necessary. If you have a pin or brooch for Portuguese knitting, please bring it to show.

Beaded Key Lanyard
Do you find yourself rooting around at the bottom of your purse, looking for your car or house keys? Join us at SoCK to make a key lanyard. This project uses beads and clips to attach the lanyard to your purse (or knitting bag). Your keys will always be at hand! We will provide kits with all the basics.
Join us for our annual holiday party!!
Formulate your gift-stealing strategy for our White Elephant Gift Exchange Game.
Bring a $25-30 value wrapped gift without any name tag (stash dive if you want). Gifts should be related to knitting/crocheting/yarn, etc.
Participation in the game is optional; it’s still a party!!
Bring yarn-friendly snacks or finger food.
Hopefully, the weather will be cool enough to show off lovely hand-made scarves, shawls, or sweaters!
