What
is a knit-along? Knit-alongs are usually held 90 minutes
prior to our normal monthly meeting. A small group
of interested knitters meets for two or three months
to learn a technique or work on a project. Often,
the group may provide each other support via e-mail
or telephone.
Prior
knit-along subjects have been: socks, double-knitting,
modular knitting, Medrith Glover's Circumnavigated
Cardigan, Lucy
Neatby's Radiant Shawl , Elizabeth
Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Sweater, Sunburst
Slingbag by justonemorerow.com, Chris
Bylsma's Crayon Box Jacket Nalu
Mitts Round
Dishcloth and Elizabeth Zimmermann's
Ribwarmer.
Join
us at 12:30 before the January, February & March
meetings to KAL!

Note:
When you’re ready to bind off the lower part
of your body, do it purlwise. That will match the
garter stitch edging perfectly. Do
the same when binding off the sleeves.
