Thanks to Jill from Starstruck Cat Studio and Mary Ann of A Good Yarn for demonstrating their sock knitting machines at the August 3 Hip to Knit. Watch an excerpt of their presentation here:
Who can come?
Anyone! All ages welcome!
When do we meet? The first Tuesday of each month.
What should I bring? Bring your current project. If you are beginning, just bring needles. Any kind or size will work - bamboo size 8 for those just learning work great.
How does it work? Knitters come and knit in the company of others. New knitters will learn the basics of casting on and the knit stitch at their first meeting. Those needing extra assistance with their projects can usually get plenty of help from the wonderful knitting groupies that come.
