Project Linus & Christmas in July

The donated yarn made some very COLORFUL blankets to donate to "Project Linus".  Circular and color block afghans used up a good supply of the boxes of yarn - but there is still plenty of yarn to be knitted up into simple projects for Charity - Hats / Mittens / Scarves / Afghans

June Meeting

Jackie demonstrated how to make yarn from 'single knit fabric'. 

Rosemary Radtke shared this technique at the Arizona Club that Jackie attends.

    1 Yard of fabric should make a top.  You may want to purchase a little extra.
    Knit loose - Knitted piece will shrink after steaming and washing.
    Rosemary noted that her best swatch was on the bulky machine at tension 4.

Lots of afghans for Show-N-Tell.
