Knitters Anonymous seeks to provide fellowship and support for the art
of hand knitting (crocheters are welcome to attend). Please bring your
own yarn and needles. Four sessions will be offered on the Tuesdays of
February in the United Church Parlor from 2 – 4 p.m. Refreshments will
be provided. Participants will be asked to bring a donation for Project
Starburst to each session – non-perishable food or handmade hats,
mittens or scarves for the pantry. If the weekly topic doesn’t interest
you, come anyway and knit (or crochet) with us.
February 4: Show and Tell Bring a project, a unique stitch or a useful
technique to share. Knitters and crocheters love to see what others are
creating and how they are doing it. Or bring an easy FREE pattern to
share and/or suggest a cause to knit or crochet for.
February 11: Let’s Talk About Short Rows Demystify the short row
conundrum. We’ll explore several methods of achieving the same end:
short row shaping of sweaters and socks, including the wrap + turn and
German short rows.
February 18: Colorful Knitting the Fair Isle Way Don’t say you can’t
until you try, or at least watch several knitters demonstrate the beautiful
and time-honored technique of Fair Isle (knitting with two or more colors
at the same time). It could become your next obsession.
February 25: Beading – Add Some Bling to Your Knitting With help
from Vicki Vogel, we will learn the ins and outs of adding those tiny little
beads into our knitting.
