Wishing for a fresh start? Restart? KNIT will start our fall programs with a KAL recap. Bring your finished socks or Poco to show off or maybe get help with. After our KAL completion celebration, we will discuss the various virtual classes available and prepare for fall programs. Come with your ideas and ready to “craft”.
Join SoCK as we explore making socks. We will be using the https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/toe-up-training-sock.This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
Prior knowledge of magic loop knitting is helpful and using a circular needle is recommended. You will end up with a small sock that can be used as a key chain or even a swatch for a larger project.
This pattern uses Judy’s Magic Cast On and Jeni’s stretchy bind off . The heel uses wrap & turn short rows.
Our meeting will be through Zoom. Invitations will be sent to the SoCK members. If you are not a SoCK member but want to attend, contact Debbie.
At the moment we are holding Zoom meetings. Please watch your email for a Zoom invitation. Members of other KANG Chapters please email knitatnightguildknow@gmail.com by August 24th to receive an invite to join our meeting.
We will be doing a mini-project over the next two Zoom meetings. For the first part, we will get our colorwork going as we knit a small fair-isle piece in the round during the August meeting.
In September, we will take the finished fair isle and do a steek, where we cut our knitting (!) and add a button band. The result will be a colorful cardi coffee cup cozy!
Join us as we learn from each other; there are many ways to knit stranded colorwork, and many ways to knit in the round!
The August KNOT meeting will be held via ZOOM on 8/20 at 6:30 pm. Please ensure your email is up-to-date, as you will receive the meeting invitation in the email that is on record with membership. If you prefer that I text or use an alternative email, please contact Julie at knitatnightguildKNOT@gmail.com.
We are continuing our Summer of Socks, KAL. If you haven’t started, do not worry, we are doing weekly ZOOMs to get everyone caught up. By August 11th, you should have the sock knitted to the gusset, we will turn the heel together. Emails will go out to chapter members with ZOOM information. Happy August.
The KIND chapter will meet via Zoom on August 20 at 10 am. Pat Modisett will present a program on making Dorset buttons.
Dorset buttons are essentially rings (plastic now, formerly wood, bone or horn) covered with natural linen or cotton (or wool). We’re going to learn the basic design and then you can let your imaginations soar!
Because of limited supplies, if you plan to attend the class, please send Pat an email at modisettwilson@gmail.com with your physical address so that she can mail you a packet of materials. Only the first 15 people to register will get the packet.
Pat has had fun learning about these and can see lots of possible uses. Ours probably won’t be used for custom made undergarments or fireplace hoods as they were back in the day, but they’d look great on a sweater or hat or accent piece on a scarf or purse. Join us and try it! All registrations must be received by noon on August 13.
