Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

Ziggurat Chevron Mosaic Crochet Blanket

We will watch a Marley Bird video on mosaic crochet. She demonstrates the beautiful, crocheted pattern used in the Yarnspirations “Ziggurat Chevron Crochet Blanket.” There will be free copies of this pattern. If you’d like to follow along, bring two contrasting colors of worsted-weight yarn and a Size H crochet hook.

Homework:

With Color A, chain 36

1st row: Using Color A, 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook and each ch to end of chain; 35 sts

Row 2: ch 1, 1 sc in each sc to end of row, changing to Color B in last stitch

We should have some extra crochet hooks if you don’t own any. (If the crocheters among us, if you can, bring a couple of extra crochet hooks.)

SOCK will be having a class on double knitting.

Participants need to bring DK or worsted weight yarn, and the appropriate needles and two-color ways.

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

Join us for a sit n’ knit. No program – just knitting, crocheting and socializing.

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!

SoCK: Planning, Sit-and-Knit, and Finished Projects

The program combines a sit-and-knit session with planning for next year’s programs. We’ll ask volunteers to claim a particular month. We don’t need you to know your exact program, just volunteer for a time slot. We’ll do the same thing for Door Prize volunteers. After that, we’ll show off finished projects and have a relaxing time sitting and knitting (or crocheting). Please join us!

Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

At our July meeting we will be stitching together blocks for the charity blankets to donate to the Linus Project. It looks like we have enough knitted blocks to complete at least 3 older children blankets. Please bring your darning needles. At our last meeting it was suggested that we crochet a border around the edges of the blankets, so if any of the members would like to participate in this part it would be appreciated.

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.

Members often arrive early to visit over dinner and show their support to the restaurant for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Visitors and members from other chapters are always welcome!

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.
