Next meeting: May 19 at 4:00




Please join us for our next meeting on Wednesday, May 19, at 4:00 PM, at Harlow Platts Park by Viele Lake in South Boulder. Bring a chair and stay and knit for a bit (weather permitting). We will be knitting a hat and vest set, a Roxana pattern that we have done before. You will need:

Worsted weight yarn:

Color A: 200 yards 

Color B: 200 yards

(Color B can be oddballs of yarn to total 200 yards)

16 inch circular needles in US 7 or 8 for the hat

16 or 24 inch circular needles in US 7 or 8 for the vest

A generous member of our group is taking a break from knitting and has donated a box of yarn, needles and accessories. Everything is high quality, and there's lots of wool for mittens. I'll bring it to the meeting. Thank you, Denise!

Reminder: meeting Wednesday at 4:00

Just a reminder that we will be meeting this Wednesday, August 18, 4:00 at Harlow Platts park by Viele Lake. The pattern is a modified version of the Swirl Hat, a favorite from Hat Bingo . I think it uses about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, preferable something machine washable, and a US 7 or 8 16 inch circular needle. Hope to see you there!

Reminder: Meeting at Harlow Platts Park Wednesday 4-6

Just a reminder: we will be meeting IN PERSON at Harlow Platts Park (by Viele Lake in South Boulder) from 4-6 on Wednesday. We'll have a spot to drop off finished projects and pick up the new pattern (you'll need to provide your own yarn). Remember we'll also be collecting sweaters for the refugee project. If you'd like to stay and knit, please bring a chair or blanket. We'll sit in small groups rather than in one large one. Hope to see you there!

Special project: knitting for refugee children

Hi knitters, I hope you are all staying healthy and relatively sane in this unusual and scary situation we find ourselves in. Are you stuck at home with some extra yarn and extra knitting time? Eleni brings us a special project from her mother's knitting group in Wales. They are knitting sweaters (or jumpers as they say in the UK) for refugee children in Europe. Roxana is generously donating one of her patterns for us to use for free, and I will post it here along with a photo of a sample next week. It will take a little more than 600 yards of worsted weight yarn, so go dive into your stash and see what you can come up with. Here is some information about the project, from Stiwdio 3 , the yarn shop in Cardigan, Wales that is organizing it: From the home of the giant Cardigan cardigan, we are reaching out to our incredible community and setting a challenge to produce 2020 children’s jumpers or cardigans for refugee children throughout Europe.  The inspiration for the project
