Email notifications going away

After July, Blogger (run by Google) will stop working with the service that supports automatic email notifications of newposts. That means that even if you've signed up for email notifications on this site (i.e., you are seeing this in your email), you won't get emails after July. I can't commit to maintaining an email list and sending out notifications, so when the emails stop, you will need to visit the website to see updates on meetings, projects, patterns, etc. Maybe set a reminder in your calendar once or twice a month to visit the website and see what's coming up. 

In more cheerful and less technical news, I have been busy seaming your blanket squares (rectangles). I am making them into 3 blankets - 2 larger and one smaller, plus there is a fourth blanket that someone made and donated. Remember that these blankets will be donated to local first responders for victim support. You can feel free to keep making squares (rectangles) and I will keep putting them together when I have enough for another blanket. The original directions were to cast on a multiple of 10 stitches and knit until the piece measures 10 inches long. After piecing these together, I'm making two more requests - that you stick to roughly a worsted weight yarn and make sure the fabric is not too stiff (go up a needle size or 2). Those super bulky, stiff, or thin and lacy pieces are difficult to incorporate. Thanks!

I'll post photos soon - stay tuned!

    Is anyone else confused on the “divide for armholes” section. I always have to add another round/row in to make it work. Been baffling me for years. Is there a misprint?

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...

Great to see you! Meeting again in October

Mistake stitch hat (pattern linked below) Thanks to everyone who showed up/dropped off knitted items at the outdoor September meeting. It was great to finally see people and catch up. We had a great turnout and collected a lot of finished items to donate to people in need this fall and winter. We anticipate that the need will be greater this year so it's great that we're able to give so much.  You can click on the links below to get the  patterns we gave out at the meeting. mistake stitch hat pattern neck warmer pattern We had such a good time that we're going to try to meet again October 14, from 3-5 PM. We'll meet at  Harlow Platts park by Viele Lake in South Boulder, weather permitting.
