Rectangle Riot

This meeting was all about easy knitting: take a piece of straight, rectangular knitting and see what you can do with it.

Committee members demonstrated what they had made:

Pat had a headband and a cowl, as well as our handknit pattern this month, Hand Knit Cowl.

She also showed fingerless gloves knitted according to a Liz Holness pattern for the Guild of Machine Knitters.

Lynda had a lambswool wrap, knitted as a rectangle, then cut and sewn.

Kathy had a shrug, made of two rectangles, and she showed how to put them together.

Club member, Sue, had brought a wrap knitted according to a Denise Musk pattern featured in the Guild newsletter.

Club member, Fran, had knitted a Grigna Swirl from the pattern on this website, which starts with a rectangle.

We finished with a discussion and survey of opinion about the club’s structure, then had a yarn sale!
