October Hat


 Hi knitters,

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, October 11 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. We will be making a hat (pattern below: click on it to enlarge). You will need about 120 yards of worsted weight yarn and a 16 inch circular needle and DPNs in US #7 or 8 (4.5 or 5 mm).

A couple of other announcements:

 Our regular November  meeting will be Wednesday, November 8 at Meadows.

We will also have a special drop-off time on Wednesday, November 29 from 2 to 3 at Meadows. This will be your last chance to drop off finished projects before our big holiday donation. 

The last couple of years we have collected new and gently used children's books, along with cash donations to purchase children's books. We give the books to Clinica to hand out to families along with our handknits. We are doing it again this year, so if you'd like to contribute, please bring those to the October or November meetings.

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...
