Hats and bears and a check-in

Hello knitters - I hope you are all hanging in there during this pandemic. I hope you're finding knitting to be a comfort and a distraction. I have a few finished items to share with you today.

Here are some fun and colorful hats from Sue...

and a fantastic table full of bears from Linda!

I sincerely hope everyone is staying safe and healthy and in good spirits.

Please send photos of finished Community Knitting projects to amysantamaria@gmail.com for me to share with the group. (If you already sent me something and it didn't make it onto the blog, that is my Swiss cheese brain - just resend please!) 

Knit on!

    This is a wonderful group to find - I spent years doing community knitting at Shuttles and Skeins and miss it terribly. It seems that you aren't meeting right now - or do you meet online?
    Anyway I'm glad to find you and I'll send pix of my projects!

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.

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, April 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. Our project is a child's hat that you can make with or without cables. You'll need about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, US size 7 or 8 (4.5-5mm) 16 inch circular and double point needles, a cable needle if you are working the cable version, and 8 stitch markers, one unique for the beginning of the round. You can find the pattern HERE . Hope you can make it!

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!
