We're meeting outside September 16!

 Hi all,

I hope you've been holding up okay over this unusual summer. I have good news - we are going to meet in person again! We'll keep this as safe as possible - outdoors and distanced, with face coverings - but we understand that some high-risk folks may need to stay away. 

We will be meeting September 16 from 4-6PM at Harlow Platts park by Viele Lake in South Boulder. Some of us will try to snag a picnic table where you can drop off your finished projects. Please bring a camping chair or blanket to sit on and wear a face covering. If you'd just like to come by, drop off your projects, say hello, and head out, that's fine! And if you'd like to stay and knit a while, we will probably be sitting in small groups rather than one large group.

Please remember to bring any finished projects for Community Knitting and also any sweaters you've made for the Wales refugee project so that Eleri can send them on. If you'd like to contribute towards books for Clinica (which we'll send at the holidays), we will be collecting cash donations for that as well. We will be giving out copies of a hat pattern, and I will also post the pattern here.  And I'll share some links to free hat patterns that should help keep your needles busy this fall. Stay tuned for that.

I'll leave you with some photos of some hats from Laurels and SO MANY bears from Linda! These are going to make a lot of kids happy.

    Hi,
    I just subscribed, and would love to come to the meeting September 16 even though I'll be brand new. I'm just starting back knitting and hope to be contributing to your 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.

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!
