Guild Programs

Knitting Guild of Greater Buffalo

Programs 2025 – 2026

Tired of your overflowing yarn bins? Join us for a year of fun, inspiration, and community as we tackle our leftover yarn together! Each month, we will explore a new project or technique designed specifically to use up those odds and ends that are too precious to throw away but too small for a large project. This program is open to knitters of all skill levels, and the only required materials are a bit of creativity and a willingness to use what you have!

We also remind you to bring your Show & Tell items. We will be taking photos for the monthly slide show and there will be a short walkabout so your projects may be fully appreciated. Try to remember your pattern, designer, and yarn as someone will be sure to ask.

  • March 5 – Scrappy Spiral Socks (with Sharon G.)
    • Pick up some helpful tips for knitting spiral socks–a new technique for some that is another great stash-busting option.
      • If you would like to learn this spiral (helical knitting) technique on these easy and fun socks, please download or print the pattern, choose your yarn according to the instructions, and follow the first three steps (prepare your yarn, cast on, knit cuff). We will start from the beginning of the leg. This is a great way to use up leftover sock yarn, in accordance with our scrappy scheme.
  • April 9 – Round Robin please note the date change!
    • Pick up some new skills from your fellow members!  If you think it warrants a program next year, let us know! 
  • May 7 – Scrunchies (with Nikole K.)
    • Stash Buster #5: Learn to knit scrunchies!
