Hi knitters, Our December meeting will be Wednesday, December 11 from 3 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public Library. We will be making the pocket scarf pictured above. You will need to bring about 100 grams of worsted weight yarn in the main color and 25 grams in a contrasting color, along with US 8 (5mm) needles. The pattern is below (click to enlarge). Hard copies of the pattern will be available at the meeting.  And check out Linda's great big collection of little bears to donate this year! Here they are posing for photos and then all packed up and ready to go to some children in need.
