In February, we will take the next steps in preparing to knit a sweater – Yarn Selection. We will look at potential yarns, their types and compositions, and how these will affect your project’s results.
Most importantly, we will be tackling the dreaded gauge swatch. This necessary step will make sure that your sweater fits you.
HOMEWORK: Please knit 3 – 6” x 6” swatches in the different potential sweater yarn choices using the appropriate needle size. (You can certainly make more than these). Wash and block them. We will be measuring gauge to see which yarns/needle combinations are appropriate for knitting your sweater.
> Please bring straight-edge ruler, straight pins, and have a calculator handy to compute your gauge.
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.

We will be meeting at 1p in the Annex, instead of our usual 10a time…!!
KIND members will be going up in the world of knitting.
We’ll sample vertical stranding (aka colors that climb) where you carry a contrast color up in your knitting instead of along the rows like traditional stranding.
To try it out, bring two contrasting colors of the same or similar yarn and appropriate needles.
Katy Lace Knitters will meet on Tuesday, February 6th, at 11 am at Luby’s on S. Mason Road.
Bring your Huldra shawl or any other lace project you are have a problem with for help.
Stay after the meeting for lunch and to visit!
For January’s meeting, Annette Willis introduced us to steeking and when it is used in knitting.
This month, we will steek the coffee cozy we made during and after the January meeting. For those who may have missed the January meeting, “Steek this Coffee Cozy” by Rachel Molenaar, is the free pattern we used.
If you want something simpler, cast on about 40 stitches in worsted weight yarn and knit about a 3-4-inch band in the round. We will provide all the supplies to steek your cozy. If you have ever steeked a project, please bring it to show the group.
