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 2026 MEETING
"SEVEN LITTLE STEPS"
WITH SHARON WUERSCHMIDT
Our May demonstration by Sharon Wuerschmidt will feature a low cut sock made on any standard single bed knitting machine. The techniques used include using ravel cord, a garter bar (to hang hem), full fashion decreasing and increasing, sew as you go, short row, and kitchener – “Seven Little Things.” There are also ‘Seven Sections’ to making this low cut sock. Sizes are (small) medium (large, and even larger, giant men’s size 12-13). Tension 5 on a Singer 560 to get the gauge. This low-cut sock is great for crocks and sandals! A pair can be made from a half skein (50 grams) of sock yarn. Sharon will be doing the workshop on a standard machine without a ribber- so not knitted ‘in the round’. You can see more about this sock by visiting Sharon’s Ravelry projects here. Her notes in the project will cover all the directions for the pattern. It’s going to be great! We look forward to your joining us in May!
