June meeting



Oh it’s come round quickly again!  Yes its Fleet Knitting Club again on Tuesday, 8 pm.  This time we will be doing some hand tooling of stitch patterns on a mid-gauge machine.  Simple but effective.  And most, if not all, of the techniques can be done by hand too.

Of course we’d also like to see what you’ve been knitting this month so do bring that along as well.
-----------------
 
The date will be Tuesday 2nd June   The time is 8 pm.   Look forward to seeing you there.  Visitors and new members are welcome any time.

May meeting update

May - hasn't it gone quickly!  Still there is time for me to update you on the May meeting before it turns to June.


We had a lovely, chatty and busy evening.

Some were working on their own projects and some on the project of the evening.

This is the result of our evenings work - they are knitters bits holders! And some progress on our own projects of course but I didn't photograph that too.  See the pre-meeting post for the link to the website where we found the information about how to make them.And very useful they will be too.


And here now are some of the show and tell items - Carole knitted this lovely lacy shrug.  Just the think for a cool evening.

Nina knitted these three pink fleck cardigans for her three granddaughters.  (sorry the camera didn't want to take auto-flash - there was enough light in the room not to need it, but it gave an odd light to this photo.)

More from Carole - an evening stole this time beautifully knitted and pressed.

Another one from Carole - a cowl neck warmer- all ready now for the cooler weather

Janet crocheted these two lap blankets.  Just the job for using up all those odd bits that are left at the end of a  larger project.
 We do like to see what our members have knitted and hope you enjoy looking at them too.
