Knit & Crochet, Annapolis Group Report
As a way of tapping into some of the fun things that are going on in our knitting and crochet groups that meet all over the D.C. Metro Area, I'll be posting short reports from the various groups. Here's the first one from the Annapolis group:
Knit & Crochet, Annapolis
Meeting Date: Second Monday, every month
Meeting Place: Borders Café, Annapolis Mall
Meeting Time: 7:00pm until closing
January 9, 2006 first meeting of the New Year. What a turn out! We had 18 people show up for showing and sharing (lots of scarves) and ripping. Much excited talk about seeing family over the Holidays and talk of projects to be made in the coming months. It was really great to see everyone, especially those who hadn’t been able to join us in a while. And a big welcome to the newcomers.
A project of interest that we discussed is the FLAK Project by Janet Szabo of Big Sky Knitting. FLAK = Follow the Leader Aran Knitalong. This is a step by step knitalong in which you are taught to knit an Aran Sweater to fit your own dimensions. It’s being designed from the top down, starting with saddle shoulders, you start off by choosing your yarn and needles and then instructed to SWATCH your patterns. This includes swatching the filler stitches and the cables you would like to adorn your sweater with. This Knitalong started January 1st but there’s still time to jump on the bandwagon. For more information go here:

This would be a fun sweater to knit with a friend or two!
There was also a bit of talk about a Knitalong within our group of doing a scarf in intarsia. More on that one at another date.
As always, it was great fun and we thank Borders for allowing us to use the Café. So until next month,
