KNIT Meeting – Tunisian Crochet

Charles Clark will be introducing us to Tunisian Crochet!!! If time allows, we will begin our Christmas Tree Garland, so bring your yarn and appropriate needles. Christmas in July!!

CHIX Mtg – One-Skein Projects

Due to a scheduling conflict, our February meeting has been changed to the One-Skein Project we talked about at the December party.  In case you missed the last couple meetings, here are the details.

Either knit a small project using a single skein of yarn or look through the projects you already have finished and pick one you don’t mind getting  rid of!  Bring it to the February meeting where we will auction them off to each other – no real money here, just “Paula Bucks”, the fake bucks that Paula has been handing out at each meeting.  Don’t worry if you don’t have any bucks – some people who only have a few (like me!) will likely give theirs away to others.

The auctioned items will also be anonymous.  Come to the meeting even if you don’t have anything to auction – you may get some ideas for future projects!

KIK Mtg – Sock KAL

For January’s program, we will have a Sock knit along. We will be learning a two-at-a-time on two needles technique. 

KNIT Mtg – Crochet Basics

Are you Bi-crafty?  Our own Linda Demaray will introduce us to crochet basics!  If you knit, crochet makes wonderful edging and cast-ons.  If you crochet, please come and help those of us as we learn to crochet.  No homework; just bring a J or K hook and some worsted weight yarn!

KNOT Mtg – Fiber Fest from a Vendor

Shelley Martella, owner of Threads & Ewe, will speak about fiber festivals from the vendor’s side of the table.  Her online shop sells both yarn and quilting fabric, and she will bring some of each to sell.  Members who want something specific may contact Shelley prior to the meeting so that she can bring what they want.  www.threadsandewe.com
