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.

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!
