We returned to Spring Creek for in person meetings with our June meeting. Spring Creek said that they do not have any COVID restrictions in place for the use of their community/back room, and we anticipate this remaining the case. We acknowledge some members still have reservations about meeting in a large group, but the majority of members voted to resume our in-person meetings. We will be adjusting our plans based on the membership’s wishes. If you have questions or concerns, please email them to KNOW via the KANG website and we will take your thoughts under advisement.

Members often arrive early to Spring Creek to visit over dinner, please consider joining your fellow KNOW members for some food and friendship.

Members from other chapters wishing to attend our meeting are always welcome to do so.

In July: Now you see it, now you don’t! The July KNOW program will be all about Illusion knitting which looks like simple stripes from one angle, then turns into a fun motif when the perspective is changed. We will knit a simple motif to illustrate, then reveal the secret of Illusion knitting so you can create your own. To participate, bring two contrasting colors of the same smooth yarn (one light and one dark, both solids.) The effect works best if the knitting is a bit tight, so you may wish to use needles 1 size smaller than you would normally use for that yarn.

We are returning to Spring Creek Barbeque for the first time in 15 months. This will be our first in-person meeting based on a vote of the Chapter members. Spring Creek said that they do not have any COVID restrictions in place for the use of their community/back room. Some members did not vote on the return to in-person meetings, and others expressed their concern about participating in a large group. We want this to be a positive experience for all KNOW members, so we are asking all to be sensitive to the concerns of others. It would be helpful if members bring a mask to wear during the meeting in case we have attendees who are not fully vaccinated. If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Threadgold, KNOW President. We hope to be able to ZOOM our program as well, but we are still working on the logistics. If you would like to attend the meeting via Zoom, please sent an email to that effect to knitatnightguildKNOW@gmail.com and we will try to accommodate you.

Members from other chapters wishing to attend our meeting are always welcome to do so.

Amy Rodgers will be presenting our June program. She will be presenting a program on increases, including a sampler or pared increases from KFB, M1, YO, twists and when to use them. Attendees are asked to bring either DK or worsted yarn and appropriate needles. A handout will be provided. Amy intends to discuss the issue of where distortion may matter in top-down garments or gussets.
