Take 2: Technical Tuneup... A-tension!


Our meeting this week will be at the same time, same channel: Sunday, 2-4 pm, Waves Coffee House on Columbia Street.

Technical Tuneup: A-tension!
Steve will lead the discussion this week about how to read the label on yarn as well as touch on tension/guage. Learn how to make a swatch and why it is so important - many people are tempted to skip this step but it can save you hours of work.


*** Please note that we will NOT be meeting at Waves on November 1st. We will be taking a tactile field trip to talk about yarn basics. Stay posted for more details. ****

Beginners
With apologies to our beginners last week, we didn't have much time to get knitting. After the Tuneup, we will move the beginners into a smaller circle and work on basic stitches. If you have them, please bring 4.5 mm needles and a ball of worsted weight yarn. If you don't have supplies, come anyways. We will have some available for you to borrow or buy.
