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.

  • May 7 – Scrunchies (with Nikole K.)
    • Stash Buster #5: Learn to knit scrunchies!
  • The Soho Scrunchie is a fun, quick project that results in a professional-looking, store-quality accessory. Whether you want to make one for yourself or as a gift, we’d love for you to join us.
    The Pattern:
    We will be using the Soho Scrunchie pattern by Gregoria Fibers. You can find and download the pattern on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/soho-scrunchie
    What You’ll Need to Bring:
    To participate during the meeting, please have the following supplies ready:
    Yarn: A small amount of yarn (leftovers from your stash are perfect!). You can use whatever weight you prefer, though fingering or DK weights are most common for this look.
    Needles: You will need tools for working in the round. Please bring either:
    Two (2) sets of small circular needles , DPNs OR
    One (1) long circular needle (if you prefer the Magic Loop method).
    Hair Elastic: A standard elastic hair tie to go inside the scrunchie.
    Crochet Hook & Waste Yarn: For the provisional cast-on.
    Darning Needle: For weaving in ends and finishing.
    Meeting Details:
    We will be knitting these together during the meeting. It’s a great way to learn a new technique (like the provisional cast-on or knitting around an elastic) while catching up with everyone! If you’ve never done a provisional cast-on before, don’t worry! We can help each other out during the session. See you there!
