By the Book Knitters September

The next meeting will be Tuesday September 19th from 6:00pm – 8:00pm at the Richland Library in Conference
Room A.
We finished up the Seattle Mariners 40th Anniversary afghan for the Summer Reading Program. Holly purchased baseball buttons to add to the afghan. The yarn is purchased by the library and the squares are knit by members of the By the Book Knitters group. It will be a raffle prize for a deserving reader. We had several new knitters asking about the squares we use to learn to knit, each square uses 2 oz of yarn.

Here is the link to the Year of Swatches patterns. Start with the January squares and knit the calendar to become a great knitter.
