Boulder Community Knitting

Hi knitters, Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 14 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. For May we have two vest patterns. One is a set with a coordinating vest and hat, and the other is the vest version of the side-to-side sweater we did a while back. Please see below for photos and patterns. There will also be paper copies of the patterns at the meeting. Hope you can make it! 

Hi knitters! Our next meeting is Wednesday, April 9 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.  We will be making baby booties knit flat, using DK or light worsted weight yarn and US 6 (4 mm) needles.  This pattern incorporates some interesting techniques like short-row shaping, a simple cable, and a seam to pull them together. The nice thing about knitting them flat is that you don't have to manage 4 to 5 double points with a very small piece of knitting. It looks like they knit up pretty quickly - you might not be able to stop at just one pair! 

 Hi knitters, Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, March 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. Giselle will be doing a surprise project this month. You should bring an assortment of needles. This is Giselle's last Community Knitting meeting, as she's moving to North Carolina. We all wish her well and thank her for her years for contributions to the group.  If you're interested, Maggie and Judy will have yarn for sale at the meeting (cash or check only).  Hope you can make it!

Hi knitters, Our February meeting will be this Wednesday, February 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. We will be making a child's earflap hat, pattern courtesy of Lynn. Please see below for details (click images to enlarge). Hope you can make it!

Hi knitters, Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! Our next meeting is this Wednesday, January 8, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.  For January, we have a hat pattern from Barb.
