Happy Early October Yarnies!

The weather has been pretty awesome and we’ve been seeing so many great fiber creations lately! Pumpkins, ghosts, witchy things, socks and shawls…it’s been gorgeous!

Tuesday meetups are still happening, see the calendar link on the main page www.Yarnies541.org and posted on the socials as well. 

Upcoming Events:

Sunday, October 20th: Yaranies541 business meeting: 5pm-8pm (we usually get done earlier and there is a lot of knitting/crochet and sharing happening). Business meetings are currently held at Growers Market meeting space located at 454 WIllamette St. Eugene. See main page at www.Yarnies541.org for more info about the meeting space.

Agenda: Actual Bylaws! Positions in the club! (all because we want to be able to create a bank account to easily coordinate events, fundraisers, charitable giving, etc.). 

We are hoping to plan for the year and determine what we want to support and really coordinate our efforts to do that. 

Friday-Sunday November 1st-3rd: Sacred Sheep in Portland. Visit https://thesacredsheep.com/ for more info. Check out the discord group for chatter under “events” to coordinate rides, meetups, etc. 

Crochet members: there has been a lot of interest in learning to crochet socks. Does anyone have an interest in teaching that? Or learning together? Hit up our discord under “crochet’, or email us at yarnies541@gmail.com  and let’s see what we can cook up together! This would be a great opportunity to practice your teaching skills with friendly faces too.

We are waiting to hear about the Summer Stitch-O-Rama finisher’s party from our local yarn store Cozy. As soon as we know, we will push the info out to you! In the meantime, check out @Cozy_Yarn on instagram for the most recent list of classes, sit n stitch times,  and events!

There is a Stripe-a-long happening on Ravelry, Facebook and Instagram. Look for #StripeAlong2024, SO MANY pretty striped projects!

And if any of you were knitting in the early 2000s, you might be familiar with the Clapotis (pronounced clap-o-tee) by Kate Gilbert from the Knitty.com Fall 2004 issue. Knitty.com has been an amazing resource for a long time and they are really excited to be hosting a KAL for the 20 year anniversary of the Clapotis! Visit www.knitty.com to learn more, or follow #ClapotisFest on instagram.

Please check out our calendar on the main page of the website for recurring events. And please, as always, email or comment about events we may have missed! Or post them on the Yarnies541 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/6RHfvR4vTh
