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.

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...
