Why does that knitter have the yarn around the neck? Come explore a “new” style of knitting (in existence since the 700s) where the purl stitch and rib stitch are a breeze. Bring a swatch with 20 stitches and 3 or 4 rows if you want to participate. Worsted or DK is probably the best. You can use your practice swatch from last month!
Please join us to visit and knit! Contact our chapter president for more information about this month’s program, or follow KANG on social media!
TIME CHANGE!!
We will be kicking off the New Year with donations to Star of Hope. Please bring a charity knit and/or small toiletries.
We are also going to have a potluck; Valarie Nicholson will be sending out an email closer to the date so that you can sign up to bring goodies to share.
We will also be discussing a potential knit-a-long that will incorporate new skills for some and an opportunity to revisit skills they haven’t used lately.
Have you seen or heard about the viral “Emotional Support Chicken“? Join the fun with this fast knit project and use up some of those OOAK skeins or slim down that stash!
Please bring some worsted-weight yarn (nearly any fiber including acrylic) and size 7 needles OR fingering-weight yarn and size 1, 1.5, or 2 needles. Recommend variegated, tweedy, patterned, or tonal yarn with a solid contrast yarn, but you do you.
Buy your pattern ahead if you would like to get a head start.
Bethel King will share many tricks and tips and provide cute tags for your future #ESC.
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!
Our meeting this month will be led by Member Jamie Cochran.
Jamie will demonstrate some basic crochet techniques for knitters.
For homework, please KNIT a square, any pattern, using an ODD number of stitches and rows. This square should be at least 4×4”. Any previously made swatch or dishcloth can be used but must have the odd number of stitches and rows.
Supplies:
DIFFERENT LOCATION!!
Are you a thrower, picker, or flicker knitter? Learn about the different styles and their uses. You’ll also get an introduction to backward knitting and double knitting. We’ll try different styles, so bring a cast-on swatch for practicing.
At our December meeting, Valarie Nicholson will lead the group in making Gnome ornaments using scrap yarn.
Supplies members will need include:
Valarie will provide the rest of the items
If you have glue guns, please bring.
CHANGE OF DATE!!
The KNOW chapter will be having our annual holiday party early.
We will meet Monday, December 16th at 6:30 pm at Spring Creek BBQ.
There will be finger foods and everyone is encouraged to bring a sweet or savory holiday treat. We will be doing a gift exchange/party game. For those who want to participate, please bring a wrapped skein of fingering weight yarn (no acrylic please!) in the $30-35 range. Hope to see everyone there!
Join the SoCK group for our annual holiday party.
Formulate your gift-stealing strategy for our White Elephant Gift Exchange Game. Bring a $20-25 wrapped gift without any name tag (stash dive if you want). The gift should be related to or themed after knit/crochet/yarn, etc.
Participation in the White Elephant is optional, but it’s a lot of fun and can be quite competitive! Bring yarn-friendly snacks or finger food. With any luck, the weather will be cool enough to show off lovely hand-made scarves, shawls, or sweaters. Join us!
CHANGE OF ADDRESS!!
Our Annual Holiday Party will be held at the home of Karen Fern.
Please bring an item for a Secret Gift Exchange — Yarn only— wrapped any way your inspiration takes you.
Please bring a dish to share; beverages will be provided.
KNIT Chapter members will be sent the address.
