WELCOME TO INTERKNIT MACHINE KNITTING GUILD
Interknit Machine Knitting Club was originally founded as an “in-person” Club in the suburbs of Chicago in the fall of 1995 for the support, education, and fellowship of machine knitters of all experience and expertise levels, regardless of the make or model of machine used. We now meet via Zoom and boast members throughout the U.S., Canada, England and Australia!
Interknit is not affiliated with any knit shop. It is self-supporting. Members include beginners, hobby knitters, designers, authors, teachers, and interested knitters from across the United States as well as a couple of foreign countries. Our club year begins in January with annual dues in the amount of $25 payable by December 31st of each year. New/returning members may join at any time during the year. Regular meetings are held via Zoom on the second Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. – Noon, Central Time Zone. A typical meeting includes a brief business meeting, an enthusiastic show and tell and a program provided by one of Interknit’s own demonstrators or a guest instructor. We also have two or three hour workshops/seminars with guest demonstrators each year, and we provide knitted items for local charities and organizations such as Wool-Aid.
MAY MEETING DEMONSTRATION
PATCHWORK KNITTING WITH SALLY BUTCHER
Knitting garments in sections, strips or patches has many advantages. You can produce larger sized garments, use up yarn leftovers, and show off your knitting skills by incorporating different stitch patterns and techniques. Sally will show us how to adapt a basic pattern shape for patchwork knitting, and go through the “Sew as you Go” joining technique to assemble into a garment. There are some optional hand knitting sections for those with an LK150 (or similar) machine. She will demonstrate on a mid gauge, but this technique works on any machine!” Join us May12th on Zoom for this exciting demonstration!
