May meeting

 Hi all - our next meeting will be this Wednesday, May 10, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library.

Our traditional May project is a sweater or vest. This year you can make Roxana’s sweater pattern from last year or a new vest and hat pattern. The vest/hat will be available in hard copy at the meeting, and I will post/send out a link to the online pattern soon after the meeting.

For the vest and hat, you will need approximately 7 ounces of worsted weight machine washable yarn and a US 7 or 8 (4.5 - 5mm) 16-20 inch circular needle. 

Future meetings will also be the second Wednesday of the month, same time and place.

Hope you can make it!

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...

March meeting canceled / Ways to connect

Hi everyone, After careful consideration, we decided to cancel our March meeting (next week). Many people in our group are at higher risk (over 60, other health issues), and we don't want to put anyone in danger. We are following the lead of schools, public buildings, churches, workplaces, and other gatherings in social distancing. This will give our healthcare workers their best chance to fight the Coronavirus and reduce its impact. 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...
