Knitting: December 8th, 6 to 9 pm

YOU CAN USE:
An old sweater. Here and here are some tips on how to reclaim the yarn.
Or consider stripping old knit shirts (cut in a spiral) like seen here. Then connect strips like seen here. Or rip up torn bedsheets.

IF YOU HAVE THE TOOL, PLEASE BRING IT:
Knitting needles. I have quite a few. But I won't want to send them home with you. Someone you know might have some to borrow. You might want to talk to your Aunt or Grandma. The fatter the yarn, the fatter the needles need to be.

If you don't want to knit, you can be a yarn reclaimer or a fabric stripper.

Also, to get you excited about honing your skills, here is a link to a fun and easy fingerless mitten pattern. The library has a nice collection of knitting books with inspiring patterns. Sites like ravelry.com have free patterns. Though most newbies start with a scarf. (But don't get trapped in scarf-land forever!)

Hope to see you!
