April Guild Meeting

Great Free Hat Patterns for Charity Knitting!

Barley, free Ravelry download! Sizes range from baby to adult.

Luuk, another free Ravelry download. One of my personal favorites! Also a large range of sizes.

Chunkeanie, free pattern on Wooly Wormhead's website. I love this one since it knits up fast. Great for kids-adult sized heads. And here's a link to more free awesome hat patterns from Wooly Wormhead!

Foliage, a free Ravelry download. For if you feel like a challenge and something pretty!

Thorpe, a free Ravelry download for when you are in the mood for earflaps.

And if you want to be super speedy, you could use my free double-dutch hat pattern that uses two strands of worsted weight held at the same time!

June 2015 Guild Meeting

Toys! Toys! Toys!



This year I've been having a lot of fun with toys--one of my goals was to knit from four toy books I have let sit unused for far too long in my library. I know I'm not the only toy knitter in our group, so I thought it would be fun to have a month devoted to sharing your favorite toy/stuffy/softie patterns!

What you'll need to bring to this meeting:

• Your favorite toy patterns to share
• A project to work on during the meeting
• Your recently finished projects to share with the group
• A door prize if you won one last month

New Ways to Self-Stripe



Are you drawn to self-striping yarns, but getting bored with your standard "plain vanilla" sock? Do you have self-striping yarn in your stash that's worsted or aran weight, but aren't quite sure what to do with it? This month we'll address both issues--bring your favorite "non-traditional" sock patterns for self-striping yarns and other great patterns to use with heavier weight color-changing yarns!

What you'll need to bring to this meeting:

• Unique self-striping sock yarn patterns to share
• Great patterns for other color-changing yarns
• A project to work on during the meeting
• Your recently finished projects to share with the group

March 2015 Guild Meeting

What's modular knitting?


In short, it's knitting something large in small pieces! You create the "whole" by seaming or knitting together the smaller units. A very popular blanket technique (think BeeKeeper's quilt, log cabin quilts), this technique is versatile and can be used for just about any item. This month, bring your favorite "modular" knitting or crochet pattern. 

What you'll need to bring to this meeting:

• A copy of your favorite modular pattern to share
• A project to work on during the meeting
• Your recently finished projects to share with the group
• A door prize if you won one last month
• Don't forget your guild dues!
