Reminder: Meeting Tuesday, February 18 at 7PM

These are my January hats. The brown one is adult size, with 88 stitches cast on and knit a bit longer.

Reminder: Boulder Community Knitting will meet this Tuesday, February 18, from 7-8:30 PM at Shuttles, Spindles, and Skeins. We are making Roxana's hat with cables, and you will need US 7 (4.5 mm) needles and about 2 ounces of washable worsted weight yarn. A printed copy of the pattern will be provided.

We are an open group - new folks are welcome. If you are not ready for cables, you can always knit a simpler hat - anything that keeps a head warm!

At this meeting I'll get some photos of completed January hats to share here on the website. You do not have to have your January hat finished to come to the meeting. You can keep working on it or start the new one anyway - no judgments here!

Hope to see you there!

March meeting canceled / Ways to connect

Hi everyone, After careful consideration, we decided to cancel our March meeting (next week). Many people in our group are at higher risk (over 60, other health issues), and we don't want to put anyone in danger. We are following the lead of schools, public buildings, churches, workplaces, and other gatherings in social distancing. This will give our healthcare workers their best chance to fight the Coronavirus and reduce its impact. We will reschedule our bears meeting, possibly in April, depending on how the situation is shaping up. But for now, let's find other ways to continue our sense of community and connectedness. I'm exploring several things but first I thought I'd share with you a few free hat patterns that you can try. I will give links, but if you can't access them for some reason, just leave a comment below, and I will connect with you to get you either a printable PDF or if need be, I can print and mail you a copy. In addition - let's use the...

January meeting and announcing 24 in '24 challenge

Hi knitters! Our next meeting is this Wednesday, January 10 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. In January we will be knitting the hat pictured here. The pattern is below (click on it to enlarge), and you will need 50 g or 1.5 oz worsted weight yarn and US 8 (5 mm) 16 inch circulars and DPNs. I'd also like to announce a fun challenge for the year: 24 in '24! A while back, we worked on a project to make blankets for the local police to distribute to comfort people (especially children) involved in difficult and traumatic situations. A great group of people kept this going, and the Lafayette police are still receiving blankets to distribute. They said they can always use more blankets, so let's make that happen. The challenge is this: knit 24 squares in 2024. Each month, I'll share two stitch patterns, ranging from very simple and to more challenging. The patterns are just to keep you interested. You can knit them all, knit just th...
