June 2017 Meeting

This month was a club night, Frances and Margaret demonstrated various short row techniques:

  • Margaret made some easy baby bootees
  • Frances did neck and shoulder shaping 
  • Gill showed us a beret
  • Lyn brought along a chunky triangular shawl to show that short row tehniques could be useful for shaping large items.

After the break, we did some brainstorming for next year’s programme. 

There was a Show and Tell, Gillian had made a hat and octopuses for preemie babies. 

Sheila showed us a jumper in a silk tuck stitch with hand knit lace for the cuffs and edgings. Also a bamboo tape yarn jumper but she had run out of yarn.  And finally, she had looked at the various competition entries and made a lovely scarf in the same pattern.

Our new recruit Ingrid had made some Christmas Present headbands and a linen yarn jumper from her own pattern which had raglan sleeves which were made all in one with less sewing up.
