Next meeting: September 4th, 7:00 PM Pacific (In Person Only)
Our September general meeting will be IN PERSON ONLY - we'll have a selection of mini classes taught by other members as well as a stash swap! Details (including homework for classes, if applicable) are below. Note: there will be no virtual component to this month's meeting. Mini Classes - We will have 6 mini classes available (about 20 minutes each) for you to pick and choose - you may join one or multiple! Be sure to read through the information below before the meeting if you're interested. Lace Knitting Without Fear Taught by Emilia Nobrega Do you admire the look of lace but feel intimidated by actually committing to a project? Do lace charts seem like a foreign language to you? Are you worried about learning a bunch of complicated new stitches? Never fear, because Emilia is here to teach you all about getting started with knitting lace. No homework required for this class. Portuguese Knitting Taught by Cami Hillman Would you like to learn how to breeze through purls without strain or pain? In this class Cami will teach you the Portuguese knitting technique which is known for its unique method of yarn tensioning that will help reduce strain on your hands during long sections of purling. Cast on 15 stitches in a worsted to super bulky weight yarn prior to class if you’d like to learn (yarn will be available at the yarn swap as well so don’t worry if you forget to bring yarn!). No Tangle Stranded Colorwork Taught by Alexandria Keith Are you frustrated with constantly untangling your yarn when you are working on a stranded colorwork project? Ali has the solution! Using the technique shared in this class, soon you will be flying through your next doodle project tangle-free! If you would like hands-on practice, bring a stranded colorwork project. Combination Knitting and Eastern Purl Taught by Sue Eipert Are you interested in learning a new knitting technique? Sue will be teaching about combination knitting and eastern purl. Continental and English knitters alike may enjoy this class and find it helps them knit faster! Attendees should bring the beginnings of a practice swatch - just a couple rows of stockinette a few inches wide - leaving needles in and yarn attached. Brioche Knitting Taught by Kasteyl Lukes What is Brioche knitting and can you eat it? Maybe not, but in this class Kas will teach you about this knitting technique that creates a lovely squishy two color fabric! No homework required for this class. Spinning with a Drop Spindle Taught by Kasteyl Lukes Have you ever dreamed of creating your own yarn? Spinning on a drop spindle is a great place to start! In this class Kas will cover the basics of spinning with a drop spindle. If you have a drop spindle and/or spinning fiber, bring it to class but limited materials will be available. Stash swap - If you have yarn in your stash that no longer speaks to you, feel free to bring it to the meeting to pass on to someone else! You may just find yarn that is inspired to come home with you for that next project too. If you'd just like to hang out and knit, instead of participating in one of the mini classes or stash swap, that's okay too! 2024 Membership is now open!
