Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

August’s meeting is the program we had planned in July that was interrupted by Hurricane Beryl.

It is a combination of a sit & knit and planning our next year’s programs.
We’ll ask volunteers to claim a particular month.
We don’t need you to know exactly what your program will be, just volunteer for a time slot.
We’ll do the same thing for Door Prize volunteers.

After that, we’ll show and share finished projects and have a relaxing time just sitting and knitting (or crocheting). Please come be part of this!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

The KNOW chapter will be having a summer break with a sit & knit/crochet.
Join us for some friendly conversation and work on your current WIP.

Many members often come early to have dinner and show support for the restaurant and their generosity in letting us meet there.

Guild members and visitors are welcome to join us!

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

NOTE: Change of location for June and July! Meetings will be in the Fonteno Center, 6600 Bissonnet (about 2 blocks west of our usual location)

Karen Fern will teach us the Norwegian purl!
This is a fascinating and – to many knitters- unusual way to purl that some say is faster and easier on the hands than how most of us have learned.
Bring yarn and appropriate needles so you can try it and see!

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

THINK COOL!

Join us as we think about making new and fun holiday gifts and decorations.

Bring along knitted or crocheted items or photos to show off your favorites and warn us off the “this was too much aggravation” projects!

We are excited to see what everyone has to offer!!

Of course we love to see any WIPs or help out with any problem knitting if we can.

Don’t forget to bring your charity items.

Both are held at the CHH Guild House, 1425 Blalock, 2nd floor. If you are a spinner, bring your wheel, drop spindle or e-spinner and check out our group and the guild. Occasionally meeting schedules will vary, so please check the CHH website calendar before heading out. For this and other information, see http://www.weavehouston.org/

Welcome to the World of Stitch Markers!

Please join us for a presentation by Cindy Long on several examples of stitch markers you can easily make. Everyone will get a kit to make their own markers. For those who wish to make some at the meeting, bring 2 pairs of jewelry pliers and some super glue. Members often arrive early to visit and have dinner at the restaurant to show support for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Guild members and visitors are welcome.

 Knitting With Wire

Kathy Wells will teach us how to knit with wire! We’ll make a necklace using knitted wire shapes, a few beads and cord. Bring your own needles —sizes 5 or 6 – and 2-3 stitch holders.  Other materials will be provided, but if you have 3-4 beads you would like to use, they need to be medium-large beads (not seed beads), with holes large enough for fingering weight yarn to pass through.
