Next meeting:
​July 10, Lindsey Spoor with Stilly River Yarns and Swatch-Buckling Adventure

A great class to Kick off the Seattle Knitters Guild Knit-A-Long!

A little about Lindsey: Lindsey Spoor is the owner of Stilly River Yarns.  Lindsey is known for providing awesome customer service and support, finding perfect yarn and pattern combinations, garment fitting and modifications, swatching with gusto, and having a fantastic color sense. Lindsey is also known for her ability to do "forensic project analysis" - what's gone wrong (or differently than expected), and why? Customers appreciate her expertise, her honesty, her patience, and her ability to say "I don't know" - then find an answer or solution. Lindsey's absolute favorite shop moments happen when customers bring in their newly completed projects that they love and take great pride in. We are extremely excited to have Lindsey come teach and kick off our SKG Knit-a-along! 

YARRRRRR! So many projects end up in time-out or with sad endings due to problems with gauge… whether you crochet or knit, gauge makes a difference for making things fit and for making sure you have enough yarn to complete the project! In this class, we’ll explore the wild world of swatching before embarking on a project. How do you create a swatch that will be accurate? To wash or not to wash? When can you skip the swatch? If you’ve ever wanted the answers to these questions - and especially if you have other related questions! - join us for this class.

Materials: Members should bring their questions about gauge swatching in general, or even specifics in patterns.  Members may also find it useful to bring pen/pencil/calculators - Lindsey will have a handout with some "practical math-gic" problems that we can work through.
 
Homework: none; but this would be a great time to pick out your pattern for the KAL. All the patterns for the Knit-A-Long are posted on the website and in the newsletter. Lindsey will be there to help and bringing some amazing yarns for our projects!
