Meeting this Wednesday at Meadows library

Hi all, 

Sorry for the late notice on this one, but we will be meeting AT MEADOWS LIBRARY (change of location!) this Wednesday, September 15 from 3:00-4:00. Our September project is a hat. You will need a US 7 or 8 (4.5 or 5 mm) circular needle and about 2 ounces of machine washable worsted weight yarn in one or more colors. As you can see from the picture above, this is a good pattern for leftovers! 

Hope to see you there!

      We'll meet at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. It's at 4800 Baseline Rd. There's a parking lot on the library side that's kind of tricky to get to (for me at least) but you can also park on the Safeway side and walk between the buildings to get 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

Hat BINGO for Clinica

Hello knitters, Clinica needs more hats! Our contact there told us that they handed out the last batch of hats we gave her in a matter of hours! So we need to make some more hats. To make this a fun challenge, I thought we could try a game of Hat BINGO.  Click here for your card: GET A BINGO CARD You'll see 24 squares, each with a pattern name, and one free space in the middle. To get a bingo, knit 5 hats - all the patterns in a row (across, down, or diagonal). If you use the free space, you still need to knit 5 hats, but one can be any pattern you like - on the card, a duplicate, or some other pattern or improvisation you like. Snap a photo of your 5 hats for proof of your bingo - there will be prizes!  I've included a few patterns we've shared on the website, and the rest are all free patterns on Ravelry. Many of them are adult size, but you can usually size down for a kid's hat (leave a comment if you need guidance on sizing a pattern down). Or just make an adult siz

Tragedy in Boulder

After Monday's events in South Boulder, I hope all of you are safe and supported in this tragedy by family, friends, and community. If you need support of any kind, please reach out to this community in the comments - there are many generous and compassionate hearts here.  When terrible things happen, I just want to DO something. I suspect many of you feel the same way. It's hard to know what to do, but there is always knitting. So I came up with an idea, and I hope that you'll join me if it can provide you with some comfort and a sense of direction and purpose.  I thought we could make some collaborative blankets to give to emergency workers to distribute to people who have experienced trauma (through direct donation to a police or fire department if we can get a contact or thorough Project Linus if we can't). To contribute, make as many rectangles as you like (directions below). I and any interested volunteers can seam the rectangles into strips and then seam the stri
