Meeting May 11: Sweaters

Hi all!

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, May 11 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library (large meeting room on your right when you enter). May is traditionally our kid vest/sweater month. Roxana has donated a fun side-to-side bulky weight sweater pattern for us to use. You can find the pattern HERE, or we will have printed copies available at the meeting. You will need 450-500 yards of bulky weight machine washable yarn and a US 9 (5.5 mm) 24 or 32 inch circular needle.

If you don't have enough bulky weight on hand, you can hold two strands of sport or DK weight together, or you can work on any of our past patterns, or any kids sweater or vest pattern you like. Here are a few that are all in worsted weight:

Striped vest and hat set from 2021 (photo in this post)

Mosaic vest and hat set from 2020 (uses slip stitch/mosaic colorwork)

Flax, a free pattern by Tin Can Knits (seamless, top-down raglan sweater)

Hope to see you there!

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!

April cables (or not)

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, April 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. Our project is a child's hat that you can make with or without cables. You'll need about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, US size 7 or 8 (4.5-5mm) 16 inch circular and double point needles, a cable needle if you are working the cable version, and 8 stitch markers, one unique for the beginning of the round. You can find the pattern HERE . Hope you can make it!
