We have a new member, Wilma, who will come to our next meeting (not today's).  See her message below.

Can anyone suggest to her what needles and materials she should buy to learn how to knit?

Also, she lives in Armonk - are there knitting groups there that welcome beginners?

Lucinda

Pat had her two-strand knitted throw with cables.

She also brought a friend, Deborah, who was knitting a tunic  - plain stockinette with a wide lace border at the hem and at the bottom of the 3/4 sleeves.  (No, she's not that far along yet - she told us.)  Size 2 needles!

Susan is taking a break from the never-ending sweater: a cap of light grey wool from their sheep.

Lucinda continued to knit on her Bohus sweater which required concentration.

Note that all four of us were knitting and on circular needles - I don't think we've ever had that high a proportion of knitters.

Helen was there as well, now as a friend rather than a "monitor" and she was working on the still-more-never-ending-than-Susan's-sweater needlepoint Christmas stocking.

Conversation, of course, ranged widely: will anyone want to inherit our furniture/linens/never-ending-projects?  knitting; medicine; children and husbands, to mention only a few.

Lucinda

I always look forward to your recaps, Lucinda!

Thanks!

No - we were discussing the fact that "the younger generation" is not interested in "things."  One of our neighbors is selling their house, and the realtor told me that couples in their 30s (?) don't want the upkeep of a house.  (I asked her how they got any customers at all, and she didn't have an answer.)  But children/nieces & nephews just don't want fancy furniture, good china, etc.

But that's far in the future.  Though today we did discuss that, just as you should arrange for someone to take care of your parrot or tortoise after your death, maybe we should also arrange for someone to take care of our UFOs.

But I'm not planning to die, either <grin>.

Dear Joe and Lucinda

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend today's class. I am a BC patient. Just got through doing radiation and I am extremely tired today.

Also, I asked about materials I would need to bring with me to do the class, but did not get a response on that.

If , I need to bring materials, I need to know what I need so I come prepared.

My interest in learning how to spin and reconnect with knitting, is for one to get off the treadmill of doctor appointments, treatments and having
cancer 24/7 on mind. “I want to do something fun� and relaxing for me as part of my healing regiment. Two, I like to create projects that I can bring
back to the Cancer Treatment Center where I am being treated as gifts for other patients going through and even encourage others to join
something fun and healing.

First Sunday, will not be good for me to attend, as I reconnecting to going back to church. Saturdays will be good.

I pray to join the next Saturday Class.

Thank You . Have a great weekend.

I’m not familiar with Armonk’s resources, but I have seen knitting classes offered by our local town recreation programs and continuing-ed programs, so maybe the Armonk recreation program or continuing ed. offers knitting classes as well.

Wilma,

We have had beginners come and get better. As Teresa pointed out she has taught a couple of people how to spin on a drop spindle and I have helped people with knitting. Yes we are experienced but some of us do enjoy helping others learn. If you want to reconnect with knitting, please come. If it is a meeting I am coming to, I would be happy to reacquaint you with knitting.

I founded this group for knitters and spinners to come together and spin and knit and to learn. I was a new spinner and needed support and instruction and the group came together with that spirit. I enjoy teaching and if I was going to be there for the next meeting I would most certainly enjoy teaching Wilma to knit. Maybe someone can step up and offer to show her how it’s done?
