February Meeting

Our next meeting is Wednesday, February 8, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.

We will be making an earflap hat, a modification of Purl Soho's pattern. We've made this one before, and it's fun and easy and keeps ears covered better than most hats. You can find the pattern HERE. You will need about two ounces of machine washable worsted weight yarn and a circular needle in US #6, 7, or 8 (4-5mm), with double point needles in the same size for the final decreases.

Remember that we have this meeting room reserved for the whole year, so you can mark your calendar for the second Wednesday of the month, same time and place all the way through December 2023. 

 Hope you can make it!

August: Cowlapalooza

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, August 6 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.  For August, we have SIX free cowl patterns that you can knit. Pick one or two, or knit them all! They are:  1. Oats by Tin Can Knits 2. Just Try It by Susan Ashcroft 3. Convertible Biking Cowl by Cris Dvic (can be knitted in a solid color, no image) 4. Cable and Seed (Giselle adapted my hat pattern from a few months ago to a cowl) 5. Simple Yet Effective by Tin Can Knits 6. Mistake Rib Cowl by Purl Soho You can go to the links above or pick up a printed copy at the August meeting. All of the patterns use worsted weight yarn, and you should generally be fine with US 7 or 8 (4.5-5 mm) 16 inch circular needles. If you don't have enough of one color, you could colorblock or stripe and use up some leftovers. In addition, we received a large yarn donation from Sister Carmen, so come and stock up for future Community Knitting projects! Hope to see you there.

Vest and hat pattern for May

  I have May’s vest and hat pattern earlier than promised! The pattern is courtesy of Roxana, and it’s very beginner-friendly, even if you’ve never knit a garment before. Roylene made the sweet sample pictured above. This month I’m just posting the two pages of the pattern as images here in the post. To enlarge them, you should just be able to click on the image.  Can you wait until tomorrow to cast on? I can’t!
