<br />
Now that the library renovations are complete and the staff are settling into the new digs, Karen and I have begun talking about starting back up. We are thinking that April or May would be a good time to start, having a night in April, May and June, then a summer break (or summer movies if it's going well) and back up monthly in September.<br />
<br />
We'd love to get some feedback on suggestions for topics and themes. I'm going to get a hold of the binder of old posters and see if I can get some inspiration on some of our most popular topics from years past.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03806693032307282651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891433003305901601.post-41234028410964679872017-03-09T09:57:00.001-08:002017-03-09T09:57:30.555-08:00Library ReconstructionWhile the Peterborough Public Library is being reconstructed, the Kniterary Nights will be on hiatus.<br />
<br />
Scheduled to end in the fall of 2017, we look forward to starting up our Kniterary Nights once it is complete.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03806693032307282651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891433003305901601.post-82227714542652359502015-06-03T10:40:00.001-07:002015-06-03T10:40:28.850-07:00Sorry about the hiatus...There has been a serious lack of monthly entries (April and May...what?), and Monica will take all of the blame for that. She has been considerably busier with her day job and has found very little extra time in the evenings to keep up.<br />
<br />
But, she is promising to make a better effort, and without further ado...<br />
<br />
<b>April</b> was the <i>Destash</i> fundraiser, where members brought in their unwanted stash, perused the stash of others and purchased some great yarn for very reasonable rates. All of the proceeds went to the YWCA Cross Roads Shelter for Women, and we raised over $80!<br />
<br />
<b>May</b> was <i>Bring a Friend</i> night. In the hopes of bringing up our dwindling numbers, we invited members to bring a friend to Kniterary. We wanted to bring some new faces out, spread the love of knitting and maybe teach those faces a new skill. The award to most friends <strike>dragged</strike> brought to Kniterary goes to Mary Charles who introduced a veritable baseball team to our midst!<br />
<br />
<b>June </b>will be a first for Kniterary. <i>Teaching Kids to Knit</i> will be a rowdy night of fun knitting activities. Not to worry, though...these activities will be fun for everyone, not just the youngest members. We will have finger knitting, team and solo arm knitting, loom knitting and more. We are hoping that some of our youngest members will help us, but we really want to see some new young faces out. School ends on June 26th, so Monday the 29th is not a school night...no excuses for not coming out for this evening!<br />
<br />
And on that note, we should address a major problem with our dwindling numbers. Over the last few years (we have been meeting since November 2009!), we have seen nights when there has been as few as six or seven people, and as many as fifty-five. But recently, our numbers have been holding steady at 20ish, give or take, and we'd like to see more people filling up those chairs. We are going to take a short break for the summer, rather than hosting movie nights, to concentrate on getting the word out about Kniterary Nights and hopefully drum up more interest. Get the word out and encourage people to come out....tell them how much fun it is, tell them how important a skill it is, just tell them to come out. We will see you again in September, when we will plan another great night; suggestions for topics are very welcome. Just comment on the blog, or <a href="http://kniterarynights.blogspot.ca/p/contact-us.html" target="_blank">email Monica or Kelly</a> with ideas. Keep checking back as we will update our <a href="http://kniterarynights.blogspot.ca/p/upcoming-nights.html" target="_blank">Upcoming Nights</a> page with more information.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03806693032307282651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891433003305901601.post-34279599472342618342015-03-31T07:50:00.002-07:002015-03-31T07:50:48.923-07:00March 2015 - meeting notes<u><b>Knitting Olympics: A Case of Serious Hand Puns!</b></u> <br />
We hosted another great night at the Kniterary Nights last night. We think we may have scared a number of members away with thoughts of an evening spent in competition, but all who turned out had a blast!<br />
<br />
The first event was <i>Speed Knitting</i>. Each contestant was instructed to cast-on 20 stitches, then to knit a single row. Then with the timer armed for one minute, we raced to complete a row...with Jenn finishing first handily!<br />
<br />
The second event was <i>Blind Knitting</i>. Rather than use blindfolds, we trusted the honour and integrity of everyone (as well as Kelly's referring abilities) and simply closed our eyes. Using the same piece from the first event, we all tried to blindly complete another row, which is far more difficult than it sounds! But again, Jenn beat us all hands-down!<br />
<br />
Continuing, yet again, with the same piece of knitting, we turned the blind knitting up a notch and placed our hands behind our backs to try <i>Derriere Tricoter</i>, not only without our eyes, but also with contorted arms. Not a single person disconnected their shoulder joints, but Jenn seemed to be an old hand at these amazing games!<br />
<br />
For our fourth, and final event, we paired up and tried our hands at <i>Tandem Knitting</i>. With one person holding the left needle and their partner holding the right needle, our pairs tried to speed their way to a finished row. Partners who both knit in the same style (Continental or English) may have thought they had the upper-hand, but everyone found their own rhythm. True to form...Jenn clearly showed us that in her case the left hand really DOES know what the right hand is doing!<br />
<br />
We had some great prizes, including a Bee Knitting Nancy, lots of yarn, a selection of chocolate and treats. A huge thank you to two local businesses who generously donated gift certificates for our competition. First, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theukshoppe" target="_blank">the UK Shoppe</a> in the Market Plaza (a great selection of UK imported foods and gifts....check them out before their Easter stock is gone!), and from <a href="http://www.bythebridge.co/" target="_blank">By the Bridge</a> on Water Street (a fantastic lunch restaurant specializing in healthy and <b><i>deliciou</i></b>s sandwiches, soups and salads!). <br />
<br />
<u><b>Next Month</b></u><br />
After a quick discussion, Kelly and Monica decided that in the spirit of spring cleaning, the Kniterary Society would host a destash party. Clean out your closets, bins, baskets and bags of stash, decide with which yarns you are willing to part. We will buy and sell yarn at a $1 per ball or skein...all proceeds from the evening will go to <a href="http://ywcapeterborough.org/crossroads-shelter/" target="_blank">CrossRoads Shelter in Peterborough</a>.<br />

CrossRoads is a shelter run by the YWCA that helps women and children in emergency situations. The Elegant Spider knitting group, and the Kniterary Society have contributed to this worthwhile cause in the past, and we encourage you to check out their website for more information on donating to their cause. You can give in many ways (money, time, sponsoring a family and more), but we particularly like their <a href="http://ywcapeterborough.org/our-wish-list/" target="_blank">Wish List</a> which is a list of practical items of which they are always in need.<br />

<u><b>World Wide Knit in Public Day</b></u><br />
For ten years, knitters around the world have come out of their living rooms in June in order to spread the word and love of knitting to those in public spaces. In Peterborough, we have participated each year by knitting in many places around the downtown core during <a href="http://www.peterborough.ca/Living/Recreation/Millennium_Park.htm" target="_blank">World Wide Knit in Public</a> Week. We have knit on the benches of <a href="http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2012/08/12/cafe-district-turns-up-downtown-tastes" target="_blank">Hunter Street</a>, in the shade of trees in <a href="http://www.peterborough.ca/Living/Recreation/Del_Crary_Park.htm" target="_blank">Del Crary Park</a>, and even in the hideaway space of <a href="http://www.peterborough.ca/Living/Recreation/Millennium_Park.htm" target="_blank">Millennium Park</a>.<br />
<br />
This year, the organization has narrowed the focus to one day, Saturday June 13, although they encourage everyone to keep up the celebration for ten days to honour this anniversary. In Peterborough, we wanted to find a central location that still offered us high visibility, so that we could share our passion with as many passersby as possible. Management at Peterborough Square has kindly agreed to let us <strike>loiter</strike> lounge on their space, so we'll be setting up lawn chairs at the rear entrance to the mall located at the corner of Water and Charlotte...maybe even the front entrance at the corner of George and Simcoe, if our numbers swell enough. See you there!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>The Return of Kelly</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our fearless leader has returned and none too late! Although Monica enjoyed organizing our evenings in Kelly's stead, she is very glad to share the <strike>pain</strike> joys of Kniterary with Kelly, once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kelly and Monica have also started planning this year and have come up with some fun ideas for 2015, including:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>February</i> - Denise Powell will talk about Inspiration and Creativity: Where Do You Get Your Inspiration?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>March</i> - Knitting Olympics, with competitions in Speed Knitting, Behind the Back Knitting, Tandem Knitting and Blind Knitting. We may even have prizes?!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
July & August - as always we will be enjoying some movies; some suggestions include </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also have Veronica in talks with Kelly about doing a third evening of Knits that Fit. Veronica has hosted some incredibly informative and interesting evenings on achieving perfect fit in your knitting. Veronica's first evening talked about altering patterns to get a truly flattering and effective fit. The second evening she demonstrated how and where to take your own measurements. This third evening will be even more discussion of altering patterns for your perfect fit, and we look forward to it immensely.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Our Gallery</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the pages that we would love to get filled is our Gallery page. We would love to feature photos of members projects. Don't feel like they have to be masterpieces. We want to feature the variety of crafts that our members enjoy...knitting, crocheting, spinning, embroidery, or weaving! We may be called 'Knit'erary, but we want to recognize all of the crafting that our members do!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Knitting Help</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last night at Kniterary, a member was starting her first lace project and had a few questions. The first issue was how to do a provisional caston. This caston provides you with a row of live stitches that are held while you continue with your knitting, until they picked up and used within the pattern. They are especially useful in symmetrical shawls or scarves, sleeves or hems, and even on button bands. In this particular pattern, they were to be used in a garter tab to start a shawl, and we decided to forgo the provisional caston because it would only be using 3 stitches and would not alter the look of the pattern at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If we were to have used it, here are a couple of great videos to help you create this very useful caston. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She also wanted help reading the charts in her pattern and there are some great articles out there, including<a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/FEATcharts.html" target="_blank"> this one from Knitty.com</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please feel free to send us any crafting questions you might have, and we will answer them on our next Kniterary Night, as well as writing up any help we provide here on the blog.</div>

If you aren't inspired to start spinning after the other night, then you'll never be inspired to spin! Mary Charles presented a fantastic evening on preparing wool for spinning. We learned about the various kinds of locks and roving, how to clean and preparing wool for carding and the current trends in spinning.<br />

<u><b>FIVE FRIGGIN' YEARS!</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Five years ago this November, Kate Siena and Kelly Plunkett had a brilliant idea to create a space for the Peterborough community to learn knitting and crocheting, and to socialize with other crafters.

Last night, after a slight misunderstanding, turned out to be a great social night. We completed a lovely roundtable "Show and Share" and welcomed some new faces. We spent the evening enjoying some social knitting, helping each other out with some minor knitting problems and issues.<br />
<br />
Up for discussion was the topic of "How many projects do you have on the needles at any given time?" Feel free to comment here and let us know what your UFO stash looks like!<br />
<b><u></u></b><br />
<b><u>Fixing Some Issues</u></b><br />
The first pattern brought to Monica's attention was for a lacy, long-sleeved, seamed bolero. The issue was the instructions for the front panels, specifically the increases along the button edge. The instructions were to increase one stitch just inside the button-band. The confusion was in incorporating the single stitch increase into the pattern stitch (which was a three stitch pattern) while still maintaining the 1x1 rib of the button band. After some reading and knitting through the rows, we began to understand that the stitch count for the pattern stitches would be off for most rows, until the increase was incorporated correctly into the count.<br />
<br />
The second issue was a new member who brought in a cardigan that had been in her UFO stash for some time (maybe years?....who can't identify with that?!). With the back completed but still on the needles, we needed to figure out what the other two pieces were, and where exactly she had left off in the pattern. After a little reading, counting stitches on the needles and laying out the pieces together, we figured out that she had nearly finished the right front panel, and had only the armhole shaping to complete on the left front panel. We'll be sure to get a picture of the completed project and post it to our Gallery...and speaking of the "Gallery"...<br />
<br />
<b><u>The Gallery</u></b><br />
We are still looking for contributions to our Gallery page. If you have any projects (either by yourself, or by a family member or friend) please email them to <a href="mailto:monicavereana@sympatico.ca" target="_blank">Monica</a> and we'll make sure to get them featured in our Gallery. Make sure to note whether you'd like credit or would rather remain anonymous.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Pass-It-On Project</u></b><br />
Ciobhe will also hold on to the Pass-It-On Project, as she completes her amazing multimedia addition to the <strike>monstrosity</strike>, er, masterpiece.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Upcoming Nights</u></b><br />
We look forward to next month's presentation, from Veronica, on "Knits that Fit" part II. Veronica will expound her vast knowledge of altering knitting patterns to fit and flatter your unique and beautiful body!<b> </b><br />
<b></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>This is an interactive workshop, where Veronica will help us learn how to take and record our own measurements. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Everyone coming should:</b></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>come with a buddy, with whom they feel comfortable taking body measurements</i></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>wear a close-fitting shirt, over your best-fitting bra (if you wear one)</i></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>bring a good, un-stretched measuring tape with which to take accurate measurements</i></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>a pen or pencil to record your measurement (on sheets that will be provided)</i></div>
</li>
</ul>
<b></b><br />
<b>PLEASE REMEMBER that because of the municipal election, our meeting falls on OCTOBER 20TH, the penultimate Monday of the month!</b><br />
<br />
November will now see Mary Charles presenting on Preparing Wool for Carding and Spinning, and December will be our annual Panic Knitting on the first Saturday, the 6th, in the Computer Lab. See you there!<br />

Music, dancing and laughs...complete with a thug who loves, and occasionally loses, his knitting!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Pass-It-On Project</u></strong><br />
Last month, Pam volunteered to take the Pass-It-On project, and we all were waiting with baited breath to see what she would add to our <strike>monstrosity</strike> piece of art. Not only did she add her own flair for garter stitch, but she nearly doubled the size of the project!<br />

<br />
Next month, we look forward to seeing what Caoimhe, one of our youngest members, will add to it.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Gallery</u></strong><br />
Monica has also come up with a potentially great idea to showcase our members favourite completed crafts. Knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning, embroidery...our incredibly talented members have created some amazing artwork over the years and we'd love to see it.<br />
<br />
Please take photographs of your favourite projects (anything made since December of 2009!!!) and email them to either Christina or Monica and we'll add them to the Gallery.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Upcoming Dates</u></strong><br />
Next month (September 29) - We will hear again from Mary Charles. Mary's expertise in spinning is known to most of us, but how do you go about preparing wool for spinning. Mary will share everything she knows about preparing and carding wool.<br />
<br />
October 20 (NOT the last Monday of the month because of Elections scheduling) - Veronica will conduct the second part of her series on Knits that Fit. Learn more about perfecting your knitted garments to be the most flattering and most attractive clothing you can create.<br />
<br />
November 24 - Have you ever flipped through vintage knitting patterns and been baffled by the terminology and instructions? Have you ever wondered how do get a hold of some of the oldest and rarest knitting patterns? Monica will take us through the great history of published knitting patterns and everything you need to know to decode, read and knit from them.<br />
<br />
December 6 (first Saturday) - Our annual <strong><em>Panic Knitting</em></strong> will take place in the computer lab in the basement of the library. Enjoy some uninterrupted time to get some holiday knitting complete. Computer access is helpful for looking up patterns and clarification, cookies and tea and coffee will help keep up your energy, and the friendly faces of our Kniterary members will be a welcome comfort as we head into the holidays!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03806693032307282651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891433003305901601.post-89080755459088490402014-08-25T09:19:00.001-07:002014-08-26T06:12:15.495-07:00July 28, 2014 - meeting notesAs part of our regular summer season, the Kniterary Nights played host to the first of two summer movies. Dolly Parton, Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda, along with Dabney Coleman entertained us to no end in <strong><em>9 to 5</em></strong>. Such a great classic 80s movie and kudos to those who caught the knitting reference!<br />
(psst...it was a knitting rabbit in the Lily Tomlin/Snow White sequence)<br />
<br />
Next month, we will enjoy a Rat Pack favourite with <strong><em>Robin and the Seven Hoods</em></strong>. Enjoy this trailer as a sneak peak tease!<br />

<br />
Anne gave us a wonderful talk about the why's and how's of Zentangle, then walked us all through the steps of creating our own pieces.<br />
<br />
Appealing to both sides of the brain, Zentangle has easy-to-follows rules and steps, while allowing your hand to lead you into a level of creativity vastly different from knitting. <br />
<br />
Lynn brought along Dean last night, who has some experience with Zentangle. They both showed off their skills, along with some other Kniterary members.<br />

Aisling was quite excited to share her contribution to this community piece and rightly so. She knitted a small cotton rectangle, then added a sparkly black cover with the word KNIT! embroidered on top. What great creativity! The next Kniterary member to volunteer to add a piece was Lou, and we really look forward to seeing what she has to add!</div>

Kelly, our fearless leader who is on maternity leave, was unable to make it but foresaw this possibility and had provided Monica with her selection. Reading from <a href="http://peter.ent.sirsidynix.net/client/en_US/default/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f216$002fSD_ILS:216275/one?qu=knitting+yarns+ann+hood&te=ILS" target="_blank">"Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting" a collection edited by Ann Hood</a>, Monica read<i> The Pretend Knitter by Elizabeth Berg</i>. Berg tells of her love of the idea of being a knitter and always wanting to learn to knit, and her traumatic experience with knitting. Witty and touching!</div>

Although Pam was not able to read from her selections, she did share with us how much she's enjoyed reading the Kate Jacobs books, both the <a href="http://peter.ent.sirsidynix.net/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=friday+night+knitting+club+kate+jacobs&te=ILS&dt=list" target="_blank">Friday Night Knitting Club</a>, and <a href="http://peter.ent.sirsidynix.net/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=knit+two+kate+jacobs&te=ILS&dt=list" target="_blank">Knit Two</a>.<br />

We are very excited for next month's Kniterary on Zentangle Drawing, presented by Anne Gallant, who will demonstrate this technique for expanding your creativity. Something a little different for Kniterary, to be sure!<br />

<b><u>Pass-It-On Project</u></b> <br />
For those of you who don't remember the Pass-It-On Project, Mary Charles began this free-form piece in January, then passed it on to Monica. Monica then worked on it during the month of February, then passed it on to John for March. Lisa, John's mom, dropped it off quickly before our meeting last night and we got to see its latest progress! As you can see from the photo, John has added a variegated piece that acts like a handle. When we offered up the piece for the next person, Aisling jumped at the opportunity. We can't wait to see what she does with this....'thing'!<br />
<br />
<b><u>School for Young Moms</u></b><br />
We had a lovely Thank
You card from the School for Young Moms, thanking us for the donation of
knitting needles and yarn. The moms are learning to knit by making baby
blankets for their wee ones and are truly appreciative of our donation.<br />

Next month we have scheduled the field trip to <a href="http://www.hubbertfarms.ca/" target="_blank">Hubbert Farms</a>. Jody and the crew are excited about having us visit...the lambs should be frolicking and we'll be able to see the alpacas, the horses and the dogs!<br />
We already have 13 signed up, which means we have room for 2 more in this time slot. If we get more, we can just book a second time for the same day. There will be some fleece and handspun for sale, so check out the website for directions, and to peruse the photo gallery of their animals. Remember that THERE WILL BE <u><b>NO</b></u> KNITERARY ON THE LAST MONDAY OF APRIL!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Peterborough Fibre Arts Festival</b></u><br />
This Saturday is the 4th Annual Peterborough Fibre Arts Festival, which takes place in the lower level of the Peterborough Public Library, in the same room in which we meet for Kniterary. The Kniterary Society will have a table, which will include a running slideshow of all past posters, as well as projects of pride made by members. If you would like to have a favourite project featured on our table, please feel free to drop it off while you visit the festival and you can pick it up afterwards. Lisa Noble will be conducting a workshop at 10:30 on Fibre Related Computer Apps and Programs; register by emailing <a href="mailto:monicavereana@sympatico.ca" target="_blank">Monica</a>. Vendors and demonstrators of a huge variety of fibre crafts will fill the auditorium and the hallway, so come and check out the amazing fibre crafts showcased at this fantastic event!<br />

<u><b>Question of the Night</b></u><br />
Each month I will post a problem, mistake, pattern dilemma, or just a general fibre-related question that a member has and I will do my best to answer the question. This month I have two issues to cover.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLSk8l0CJRBfLfDL1KnrLqXD0INNZMGulX8UoU5ukbRbT2bz78hqKB07Au2H74LBuHURQ5OdQxa-F22nl935kJtIvGi3ywXywtcRqWitfdhCpOaRSqBi7WMFGHqf0KyKH-9Ie1qIOJ4E9/s1600/Hokked+rug+Joan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLSk8l0CJRBfLfDL1KnrLqXD0INNZMGulX8UoU5ukbRbT2bz78hqKB07Au2H74LBuHURQ5OdQxa-F22nl935kJtIvGi3ywXywtcRqWitfdhCpOaRSqBi7WMFGHqf0KyKH-9Ie1qIOJ4E9/s1600/Hokked+rug+Joan.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a>The first question comes from Joan and is actually a request for help from other members. Joan has just finished a hooked rug project and would like to have suggestions and help for what to do next. Joan knows that she has many options, such as pillow cover or wall hanging, but would like some assistance finishing this piece. If anyone has any suggestions, or is able to help in any way, please touch base with Joan at our next meeting, Monday May 26th (Storytime Kniterary).<br />
<br />
~<br />
<br />
The next question comes from our feedback sheets (that you can fill out at any meeting).<br />
The question states "How do you know which wool to knit for the right gauge? How would you know who many balls you would need if you use a different wool than the pattern calls for?"<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>This is a doozy!</b></i> </span><br />
Choosing the right materials for a project is a very important aspect of the process. Most often the pattern will either call for a specific yarn (such as Malabrigo Lace) or will call for the general weight and fibre content of yarn (such as worsted weight cotton), in addition to dictating the needle size. The weight and fibre content are usually chosen for both their gauge (stitches and rows per inch) and for aesthetic reasons, such as the drape or stiffness, the feel of the fibre, the look of the fibre, etc.<br />
<br />
A good pattern will also include the gauge necessary to achieve the same results (size, drape, stretch, etc) as intended by the pattern. With many patterns, it is not entirely necessary to achieve exact gauge, such as for toys, household items (dishcloths, pillows, etc) because they don't really need to 'fit' anything. Wearable items, on the other hand, are intended to fit a person, often a specific person, and need to fit the correct size precisely.<br />
<br />
Knitting a gauge swatch before starting your pattern is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL! Even if you are using the same yarn, or the same weight of yarn as called for in the pattern, it is still essential to knit a gauge swatch. All knitters knit with different tensions, and sometimes the same knitter will knit the same pattern with different tensions, depending on how they are sitting, how relaxed or tense they are, how many drinks they've had (<a href="http://knitting.about.com/od/uniqueknittingbooks/fr/Pints-Purls.htm" target="_blank">Pints and Purls</a>)...or any number of influencing factors.<br />
<br />
To knit a gauge swatch, double-check the gauge instructions in your pattern, whether they state that the gauge measurement is in stocking stitch or in the pattern stitch as directed in the instructions. You will need to use the needles and fibre that you plan to use, knit up a swatch <u><i>at least</i></u> the size of the swatch instructed, which is usually 4"X4"; making a larger swatch (even 10"X10") is highly recommended, as you can measure a section within the piece, and making a significantly larger swatch will help to give you an idea of what kind of drape you'll get from your finished fabric.<br />
<br />
Regardless, when you are finished knitting your piece, you should bind it off according to the pattern directions, then (<i>and this is integral!</i>) wash your piece exactly as you plan to wash the finished project. Hand wash, machine wash, tumble dry, hang to dry, lay flat to dry....whatever you plan on doing with your final piece on a regular basis. This will give you the final and true gauge of your finished piece.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://d17e2ndhj2ha5j.cloudfront.net/files/images/knit-gauge-check.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://d17e2ndhj2ha5j.cloudfront.net/files/images/knit-gauge-check.jpg" height="320" width="239" /></a>You will then measure your gauge swatch. Use a knit gauge to measure exactly how many stitches and rows you have per 4inches. In the photo you can see that this swatch measures out 10rows X 6.5 stitches per 2inches; you would need to multiply this by two to find the gauge over four inches Make sure to calculate precisely; a half stitch may seem small but when measured over the circumference of a sweater it could mean the difference of a couple of inches!<br />
<br />
If you have fewer stitches per inch, then your knitting is too loose and you need to use a smaller needle. If you have more stitches per inch, then your knitting is too tight and you need to use a larger needle. You will want to start the process again.<br />
<br />
This may seem like a waste of time and yarn...BUT ITS NOT! Compare the few hours and metres that you will use to make a few swatches, to the hours/days/weeks, and hundreds or thousands of metres that you may use to make a sweater, only to find that it is not to gauge, and therefore not going to fit at all.<br />
<br />
As far as figuring out how much yarn you need for a pattern, the pattern should tell you either how many balls of a specific yarn you need (such as 2 skeins of Madeline Tosh DK in "Grasshopper") or a general description with the yardage (such as 155metres of worsted 10ply). Either way, if you are buying a yarn not specified in the pattern, you need to figure out how much total yardage you will need, for example if there are 206m in each skein of Madeline Tosh DK, you will need 412m total for your project. If you are buying a skein of DK yarn that measures only 100m, you would need to purchase 5 balls...400 plus an extra skein for the remainder. You will always want to purchase more yarn that you think you need...its better to have too much leftover yarn, than to run out and not be able find the same dye lot!<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that Ravelry is always a fantastic resource for helping you to find yarn for your project. When you are looking at a pattern on Rav, there is a plethora of additional information at your fingertips. Along the top of any pattern page, you can choose to look at yarn ideas (to see ALL of the yarn that others have used in this pattern), you can look at projects (to see ALL of the actual projects that others have finished of this pattern; from which you can filter your search by a variety of variables), you can look at comments (which will be comments that others have made on the actual pattern including problem comments that they've sent to the designer) and finally you can click on forum posts (which shows you all the forum posts in which members have commented on the pattern, especially long conversations, which can be helpful if you are having problems with the pattern).<br />
<br />
Hopefully, this answers the question and feel free to comment on this post, with your input, suggestions or any questions that you may have.<br />

Last night was a great night, featuring <a href="http://www.hubbertfarms.ca/" target="_blank">Hubbert Farms</a>. Jody brought some lovely fleece and handspun for sale, and some great photos of their farm. Although she didn't do a formal presentation, I'm sure everyone got to discuss with Jody some of the fascinating aspects of helping to run an alpaca and sheep farm. We all look forward to the opportunity to visit the farm in April!<br />

<b><u>Pass-It-On Project</u></b> <br />
Last month, Mary Charles began the "Pass-It-On Project" creating this piece, with sections of both crochet and knitting:<br />

Monica was the first to volunteer to add to it, during the month of February, and she added a knitted section and a few balls of yarn to the bag.<br />

<b><u>The Knitting Kninjas</u></b><br />
<br />
Aisling and Siobhan brought to our attention a great local blog that they've discovered. <a href="http://knittingkninjas.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">The Knitting Kninjas</a> are a group of local knitters (adults and kids) who are on a mission...to bring cheer to the world, one yarn bomb at a time. They've got a great blog going, with disguised photos of all their Krew Members, and updates about their plans. According to their site, they would happily welcome new members, interested in yarn bombing the Peterborough area!<br />

<br />
Question Number One<br />
She had a pattern for a cable knit sweater worked flat (front, back and two sleeves), but the materials called for a circular needle 24" long. Why, she wanted to know, would it call for a circular needle if the pattern was knit flat? Could she be missing some important part of the pattern that would require her to join in the round?<br />
<br />
Answer<br />
The pattern is entirely knit flat, but working something larger than a scarf is often easier to wield on circular needles. Sweaters, shawls, blankets, etc, become very weighty when you have a substantial amount of knitting finished. Holding your knitting on straight needles forces all of the weight of the item to pull down on your wrists. By using circular needles, much of weight hangs onto your lap or tabletop. It causes much less strain on your hands and wrists, thereby allowing you to knit more comfortably and for longer. And who doesn't want to knit for longer amounts of time!?<br />
<br />
<br />
Question Number Two<br />
Okay, so if the pattern is knit flat then why does the cable chart read as if you are just looking at it from the right side?<br />
This isn't the chart, but this is an example of what she was asking:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://petitepurls.com/winter10/patterns/bellacharts/chart2a---leftsideshaping.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://petitepurls.com/winter10/patterns/bellacharts/chart2a---leftsideshaping.gif" height="352" width="640" /></a></div>
As you can see, there are columns of knits and purls that form the pattern. But if you are working flat (reading the chart on row 1 from right to left, then row 2 from left to right, etc), wouldn't you be working knits on the right side and purls on the wrong side...and vice versa? Yes, which is why the legend states "knit on RS, purl on WS" and "purl on RS, knit on WS". They use the same symbol for opposing stitches to make the chart more visibly logical.<br />
<br />
Does that make sense?<br />
<br />
Please post your questions or comments and I will endeavour to answer any and all....if I can't, I'm sure that someone can!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03806693032307282651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891433003305901601.post-23947407031173497742014-01-24T06:49:00.004-08:002014-05-05T09:57:52.179-07:00We're not new...but our blog is!The Peterborough Public Library has been host to the Kniterary Nights since December of 2009 when Kate Siena and Kelly Plunkett decided to start a regularly meeting place for local knitters. The Kniterary Society meets on the last Monday of each month (save for December, when we generally host a special "Panic Holiday Knitting" on the first Saturday afternoon) in the auditorium of the library from 7-9pm. We have been privileged to hear speakers on a huge variety of fibre-related themes, from lace, colourwork and socks, to charity knitting and running an alpaca farm.<br />
<br />
The evenings are absolutely free, with free refreshments (coffee, tea, cookies) served and are open to the public. If you are an expert and would like to come a knit and maybe learn about a new craft, or if you are an absolute beginner and need helping starting, Kniterary Nights can be your regular knitting evening out.<br />
<br />
The Kniterary Society also has its finger on the pulse of the fibre community. Any fibre-related events, new businesses, and fund-raisers can have announcements made and are more than welcome to discuss presenting about their interests.<br />
