Final dropoff for the year, planning meeting, and mitten pattern

Our final finished item collection for the year will be Sunday, November 28 from 2-3 at Viele Lake/Harlow Platts Park in South Boulder. If you want to donate new children's books (or money for children's books), this will also be the final collection for them this year. If you want your finished items to be included in our big holiday donations, you'll need to make this dropoff time or make arrangements with Roylene for an alternate dropoff.

Our December meeting will be for planning purposes. All are welcome to attend, but we do not have a project for the meeting. It is Wednesday, December 8 from 5-6:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.

Missed November's meeting? You can find the mitten pattern HERE. Remember that we encourage using 100% wool for mittens because it stays warm when wet and makes for more useful mittens!

Thank you all for your generosity this year. I hope you find lots of happy knitting time over the holidays. Feel free to browse back through old posts here for ideas and patterns to make for gifts and donations. Happy Thanksgiving and stay cozy!

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!

September meeting and new signup for email notifications

Hi all, Our next meeting will be Wednesday, September 14 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Boulder Public Library Meadows branch. We are making adult-size hats. You can choose from any of your favorite patterns, or you can try this ribbed one ( PATTERN HERE ), which is very stretchy to fit almost everyone. You will need about 2 ounces of machine washable worsted weight yarn and US 7 or 8 (4.5-5 mm) needles (16 inch circular and double points). Email notifications: I'm moving email notifications to Substack, which should fix the problems with people not getting emails before meetings. Everyone (even if you already subscribed) please go HERE to sign up, or you can email me at amysantamaria@gmail.com and I'll sign you up. If you know someone who hasn't been getting email notifications, please forward this on to them. I'll also collect emails at the next meeting for anyone who is having trouble. Upcoming Community Knitting dates: October 12, 2022 November 9, 2022 December 14, 20
