Boulder Community Knitting

 Hi all, sorry for the short notice.  We will be meeting this Wednesday (tomorrow!), November 13, from 3:00  to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. I don't have a pattern or photo to post, but a pattern should be available at the meeting. You can also always search the archives at bouldercommunityknitting.com for patterns - we have so many we've offered over the years, and they're all there to explore.  Other information: Our final dropoff before the holiday donation will be November 30 from 11-12 also at the Meadows library. This is a dropoff only, not a regular meeting.  We will also have a regular meeting on Wednesday, December 11.

Hi knitters, In October we will be knitting mittens. You can find a link to the pattern HERE . We'll meet at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library on Wednesday, October 9 from 3:00 to 4:30. You'll need to bring about two ounces of worsted weight WOOL yarn (doesn't need to be machine washable), double pointed needles in US size 4 or 5 (3.5-3.75 mm), and a few stitch markers.  If you're still working on the bear and are having any trouble, Roxana will be at this meeting and the November one and can help you out.  Hope you can make it!

 Hi all, For anyone participating in the 24 in 24 blanket square project, here are your blanket square patterns for August and September. If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, you can read all about it in this post from January 2024 . Please feel free to make any or all of the squares, there's no commitment or special deadlines! And remember, they're actually rectangles, no need to make them square as long as they're 10 inches in length.  At the end of the year, I'm going to pull all these together into one big formatted pattern with some instructions for arranging/joining/collaborating. Stay tuned for that!   August Squares SQUARE 15: EYELETS Cast on a multiple of 4 stitches plus 3. Row 1: Knit Row 2: Purl Row 3: (K2, K2tog, YO) to last 3 sts, K3.

    Our next meeting will be Wednesday, September 11, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. We will be making bears again! You can find the pattern  HERE   and there will also be paper copies available. You will need to bring worsted weight yarn and US 5 or 6 (3.75 or 4 mm) double pointed needles along with a row counter and a darning (yarn) needle. Roxana will be doing a demo starting at 3:00. She will supply stuffing and yarn for the faces.  Remember hats are always welcome if you're not up for making a bear. There are plenty of hat patterns in the archives that you can look through.  For everyone doing the 24 in 24 blanket squares project, I still owe you August and now September blanket square patterns. Thank you for your patience! I will get them out in their own post/email soon. 

 Hi knitters,  Our next meeting will be Wednesday, August 14, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.  We have a fun change of pace for this month: surprise projects! A big thanks to Giselle for organizing this and providing the yarn. More details here from Giselle:  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am providing a pattern and a skein of yarn for each person but each skein/pattern is in a brown paper bag so people can’t see what they are getting. I think it is called a white elephant.  Anyway, on the outside of the bag I have written the size needles needed and I have also noted if the yarn is wool free, as this was specifically requested. The vast majority of the bags call for size 8 needles and are hats but there are a few outlier patterns that range from size 6 to size 11 needles. I have thrown in a sweater, a pair of mitts, things like that. The yarn comes from my stash, from a ...
