Collars Pockets Buttonholes Edges

Our meeting was a mixture of demonstration and presentation.

Fran demonstrated a double band vertical buttonhole.

Lynda demonstrated the double crochet and picot edges detailed here: http://charm-knits.blogspot.co.uk/p/mk-crochet-like-trims.html

Then Pat introduced pockets and showed us a swatch of her ladder pocket, instructions for which can be downloaded here

and we watched videos from YouTube on machine knitting a simple buttonhole and a pocket by TayfurDerry

Pat showed us some garments with interesting collars, and we watched a presentation of material from this website aboutknittingmachines.com

Pattern of the month was Shirley’s teddy bear

and as a bonus we had a crochet pattern for a necklace
