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!

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. A great group of people kept this going, and the Lafayette police are still receiving blankets to distribute. They said they can always use more blankets, so let's make that happen. The challenge is this: knit 24 squares in 2024. Each month, I'll share two stitch patterns, ranging from very simple and to more challenging. The patterns are just to keep you interested. You can knit them all, knit just th...
