November meeting

Hi everyone,

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, November 8 from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. We will be making a hat. You will need to bring approximately 120 yards of worsted weight yarn in 3 colors (1 main and 2 contrast), or just bring what you have and stripe it however you like! You will also need a 16 inch circular needle and DPNs in US#7 or 8 (4.5-5mm). The pattern is posted below - click on it to enlarge. There will also be printed patterns at the meeting.

Reminder: The final drop-off before the holiday donation is November 29 from 2:00 to 3:00, also at the Meadows library branch. You can drop off any knitted items, donations of new or gently used children's books, and/or cash donations to purchase children's books.

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.

April cables (or not)

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, April 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. Our project is a child's hat that you can make with or without cables. You'll need about 2 ounces of worsted weight yarn, US size 7 or 8 (4.5-5mm) 16 inch circular and double point needles, a cable needle if you are working the cable version, and 8 stitch markers, one unique for the beginning of the round. You can find the pattern HERE . Hope you can make it!

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!
