KNIT Meeting – Members Helping Members

Members Helping Members

Have a project in the back of your closet or designated as hibernating on Ravelry because you need assistance with a stitch, instructions or technique? Brush the cobwebs off the project, bring it to the meeting to take advantage of the expertise of other members, and get your project back on track.

Also, be sure to bring your recently completed projects for Show & Share!

While we hope to see you all in person, there will be a zoom option also available for those who unable to make it.  Just send a note to knitatnightguildknit@gmail.com and we will forward you the dial-in information if you are not on our chapter mailing list.

KNOW Meeting – Twisted Traveling Stitches

KNOW’s October program will be Twisted Traveling Stitches presented by Amy Rodgers.

This technique is associated with fine wool knitting on gloves and socks from the Bavarian region of Germany. She will introduce a simple pumpkin motif chart composed of zigs, zags, and twists.
In a break from tradition, we will be making it a back-and-forth design. Participants can choose between making a beverage coaster or a face/dish cloth.
  • If you want to make a beverage coaster, bring wool fingering or sport weight yarn and appropriate size needles
  • If you prefer face or dish clothes, bring a worsted weight cotton or linen
*Note: Amy’s tip is that sharper tapered points may be helpful since no cable needles are used!
Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome. Members often arrive early to Spring Creek to visit over dinner. We’re looking forward to seeing you on October 25th!
