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!
