Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

Knitted Knockers Night

We will learn a few tips on making knockers using 2 circulars, magic loop or double points.

For those willing to support this effort, patterns and Caboo yarn will be available to take home.  Each cake makes 3-4 knockers. A great small project for hot summer days.

Yarn for this charity effort has been purchased with KNIT Chapter funds.

Thank you again for supporting the Linus Project. If you took blankets home to finish, please bring them to this meeting if at all possible.

As always please bring show and share items — old or new!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

KNOW will be having the Knitting in Art program that was supposed to be in May. We will also be voting on the Executive Board slate of officers.

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND) **MEETING CHANGES**

Please note the date and location change this month due to the Juneteenth holiday!

The KIND meeting has been rescheduled to June 12th at the Jim and JoAnn Fonteno Senior Education Center at 6600 Bissonnet from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Our program is titled “Help…it’s a Chart!“.
Kate Wilson and Valarie Nicholson will be fielding questions in breakout groups about: What does a chart tell us; Difference between a chart written for knitting the round vs. knitting flat; and, understanding charts that include cables. If any of our other members feel comfortable with any of these subjects, we hope you will chime in.

We will also be bidding Amy Rogers a fond bon voyage as she readies herself to start a new chapter in her life in Michigan.

Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

Last month we discussed how to read knitting charts with some tips and tricks. Elizabeth Jackson from SOCK joined us. We love having guests!

This month the KIK group will be starting a KAL of the Cassapinka Olive Pink Shawl. It is a great shawl that uses 4 different colors/skeins of sock weight yarn and teaches many different stitches and techniques.

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

At our May 15th meeting, we will examine various methods for stitching together flat knitted items. Our main focus will be on the mattress stitch. We will begin by working with the 12″ blocks that members have been knitting from the Berroco Mystery Blanket Along. Members are asked to bring their completed blocks and darning needles.
