We want your ideas!

2/27/2014

What would you like to do over the next few months at Waco Knitters? Are there activities you would like to do outside of knitting? Demos you want to see? Some past activities have been going to a Baylor baseball game for a "Stitch n Pitch" and having a "Knit n Nosh" with goodies people bring to a regular knitting circle.

We would love to hear your ideas! Leave a comment and let us know what you want to see.

February 25 Meeting

2/27/2014

We had a great time at our new meeting room at the South Waco Library and collected 23 baby caps! Recap courtesy of Laura:

Celine is crocheting away on her first baby hat with yarn Marjie gifted her at Marjie's Unpacking Party Saturday.
Ruth is looming baby hats galore.
Hannelore is whipping up hand knit socks for 3 family generations.
Jessica had a Amigurumi Easter Bunny Boo pattern and samples for her demo. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals. Thanks for the demo Jessica! Pattern here.
Cynthia M finished her lavender shawl and had another in purple quite a long way along from just the time at Knitting Circle today!
Pat Q was crocheted her beloved soft luscious baby hats.
Kaitlan had crocheted two wonderful mermaids and lobster stuffed toys.
Laura had an amigurumi owl completed. And Jessica put together Laura's teddy bear pieces and a Bunny Boo awesomely.
Janet is working a ruffle scarf.
Donna is learning to crochet Jessica's amigurumi Bunny Boo demo and knitting a wonderful baby blue hat. Thanks for sharing your stuffing materials too Donna!
Jeanne K was knitting a silk blend scarf for a co-worker.
Newcomers Norma, Gayle H and Jeanne N all started to learn Jessica's amigurumi Bunny Boo pattern and are coming along nicely.

The South Waco Library meeting room (front left) worked well and we decided to keep meeting there on the 2nd and 4th TUESDAYS of each month. Please note the location and date change.

February 13 Meeting

We had a great meeting with almost 30 people! We collected 168 hats!!! Wow! That is enough for every baby born in a month at Providence. Great job!

Note: Our next meeting will be at a different location on a different day. We are working on finding a meeting place that is large enough and available for us to use. Next knitting circle will be on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25th at SOUTH WACO LIBRARY at 2737 S I8th Street, in the Meeting Room at the front left of the library. Jessica will be demonstrating how to make amigurumis.
