New Group: Knitting Circle’s First Meeting - Sat Sept 15th @ 4pm

The new knitting circle will have its inaugural meeting at the labs on Saturday, September 15th from 4 to 7pm. The knitting circle is open to knitters of all skill levels. It will provide a social and collaborative workspace, and help will be available for people just starting out.  After this first meeting, we expect to hold regular monthly meetings.

All attendees are expected to bring their own supplies. Attendance is free for members, and €2 for everyone else.

*Excited* I want to knit this: http://mysocalledcraft.blogspot.ie/2010/07/binary-scarf.html (original pattern here http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTbinary.html) I bought wool before but I didn't get past knitting "in the round" - no clue what it even meant! 

[Meredith Raley]

Knitting in the round is generally pretty simple, once you get the hang of it. It's what's used to make gloves and socks and hats, just knitting a tube instead flat. I think the harder part of that scarf is the colors, but that's mainly because I don't generally have the patience for long, complicated designs. (That's why I like gloves. They're finished fairly quickly).

Knitting is just like creating bitmaps procedurally. You are just pearling instead of Perlin......
