Welcome to Boulder Community Knitting: Next meeting January 21

Hello knitters!

The group Community Knitting, which has been run by local shop Shuttles, Spindles, and Skeins, is now called Boulder Community Knitting and will operate independently. For those who are new to our group, we knit warm items to donate to local charities. We focus mostly on items for children. We meet once a month and share a free pattern. You need to bring your own yarn and needles. You can check bouldercommunityknitting.com for updated information on meetings and projects. All are welcome!

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, January 21 from 7-8:30 PM. We will be meeting at Shuttles, Spindles, and Skeins and will be making a mistake rib hat:


Please bring:
2.5 ounces of machine washable worsted weight yarn
A 16 inch circular needle size 7 or 8 (4.5 or 5 mm)
Double pointed needles size 7 or 8 (4.5 or 5 mm)

Hope to see you there!

August: Cowlapalooza

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, August 6 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.  For August, we have SIX free cowl patterns that you can knit. Pick one or two, or knit them all! They are:  1. Oats by Tin Can Knits 2. Just Try It by Susan Ashcroft 3. Convertible Biking Cowl by Cris Dvic (can be knitted in a solid color, no image) 4. Cable and Seed (Giselle adapted my hat pattern from a few months ago to a cowl) 5. Simple Yet Effective by Tin Can Knits 6. Mistake Rib Cowl by Purl Soho You can go to the links above or pick up a printed copy at the August meeting. All of the patterns use worsted weight yarn, and you should generally be fine with US 7 or 8 (4.5-5 mm) 16 inch circular needles. If you don't have enough of one color, you could colorblock or stripe and use up some leftovers. In addition, we received a large yarn donation from Sister Carmen, so come and stock up for future Community Knitting projects! Hope to see you there.

Vest and hat pattern for May

  I have May’s vest and hat pattern earlier than promised! The pattern is courtesy of Roxana, and it’s very beginner-friendly, even if you’ve never knit a garment before. Roylene made the sweet sample pictured above. This month I’m just posting the two pages of the pattern as images here in the post. To enlarge them, you should just be able to click on the image.  Can you wait until tomorrow to cast on? I can’t!
