Note the date change due to Memorial Day: Monday, May 19!!
Please join us for a fun program on knitting/crocheting in the arts. This will be a presentation by Nancy Polychronopoulos.
Bring your knitting or crocheting and your listening ears! 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.
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.
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.
Jan will have samples of Fibonacci projects and give instructions with handouts. Please bring a Fibonacci project to show off if you have one.
Ifyou can’t wait to try it, bring assorted colors of small balls of yarn and appropriate size needles. Of course, bring anything you want for show and share!
The world of fiber arts has always been a creative realm rooted in tradition and craftsmanship. However, in recent years, 3D printing has emerged as a groundbreaking technology that is enhancing and revolutionizing how these age-old techniques are approached. Join us as SoCK member, Lauren Levy, leads a program exploring some of the opportunities and challenges surrounding this topic!
Do you know any good knitting and crocheting hacks? We are going to be sharing and discussing tips and tricks to make your knitting/crocheting life easier. No tip or trick is too small or insignificant! You never know who will have an “aha!” moment when they hear your hack. Come prepared to share!
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!
