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.

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

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!

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

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.

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

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:

  • you have a project you don’t really want to finish, but you can’t bear to throw out;
  • you’re stuck on the pattern or a technique needed to finish a project;
  • your almost-finished project has a fit issue you can’t figure out;
  • you just need a kick in the pants to sit down and finish a hem, sew on buttons, or weave in ends (ahem, Sparrow).

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!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW) — January RESCHEDULED
