Our Next Meeting:
FEBRUARY 7, 2019
UP TO OUR NECKS IN KNITTING
Presented by Heather Lodinsky – Master Knitter and Designer
An important finishing process of a sweater is working the neck, yet many patterns give so little information about the neck finishing. How many patterns have we seen “pickup evenly around the neck” with no other information? On this evening, Heather will give helpful instruction and tips to make our neckline look as great as the rest of the sweater
PLUS
Valentine, Hearts, and Red Display – Valentine’s Day will be here soon so we want to see anything you’ve knit for the holiday, anything with a heart motif,or anything simply red!
(reminder that we are now following the Amherst Central School District’s weather related closing schedule, including after school activities – here is a link to a list of area closings)
