Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

Our program for February 20 is themed around items that our loved ones have knitted. I was inspired by Naomi Enav and her discussion, at the last meeting, about a dress that her husband’s grandmother knit and thought we all have treasures that were created, whether it’s an item knitted by a child or grandparent. Our members are asked to brings items they would like to share and give a brief “history” of the item.

Our members will also be finalizing our make along. Pattern, yarn, and schedule will be discussed.

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

February the month of ???

KNIT members will spend this meeting making chemo hats for cancer patients.

Some yarn will be provided or bring something LOVELY from your stash!

Chocolate will be available❣️

Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

*Location Change!* Zoom and Weekley Community Center, 8440 Greenhouse Rd, Cypress, TX 77433

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!

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.

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

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!

Knitters Night in Town (KNIT)

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:

  • Worsted weight yarn (#4) will be easy to work with using a 5.5 mm to 6.5mm crochet hook.
  • DK weight yarn (#3) will use a 4mm-5mm size crochet hook.
  • Bring a contrast color yarn in the same weight as your square.
  • Both yarns should be basic yarns, not chenille or mohair etc. types of yarn.
  • We will make a decorative border, a hanging loop and a small appliqué embellishment.
