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.

We will reschedule our bears meeting, possibly in April, depending on how the situation is shaping up. But for now, let's find other ways to continue our sense of community and connectedness. I'm exploring several things but first I thought I'd share with you a few free hat patterns that you can try. I will give links, but if you can't access them for some reason, just leave a comment below, and I will connect with you to get you either a printable PDF or if need be, I can print and mail you a copy. In addition - let's use the...

Two May vests

Hi knitters, Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 14 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. For May we have two vest patterns. One is a set with a coordinating vest and hat, and the other is the vest version of the side-to-side sweater we did a while back. Please see below for photos and patterns. There will also be paper copies of the patterns at the meeting. Hope you can make it!
