The next CIK meeting will be held at 7pm on September 2, 2008 at Valley Church (4343 Fuller Road). Please bring your Olympic charity hats and also any knitted items you entered in the state fair (along with the ribbons they won)! There is no official program except to ogle these creations and any other knitting you’ve managed to squeeze into the last of your summer. Hope to see you there!

CIK President Mindy Aller issued a challenge to all members at the August meeting on Tuesday night: knit hats for charity! We mere mortals not blessed with the physical talents to be competing in Beijing can still compete for bragging rights while watching Team USA! Grab a set of dpns or your favorite circular needle and cast-on right now – you don’t have to wait for the Opening Ceremony. Hats of all styles, colors, and sizes are encouraged: chemo caps, preemie/newborn caps, warm hats for young and young-at-heart. Bring your finished hats to the September 2nd meeting and they will be collected by CIK’s charity coordinator Robin Fulton to disburse to metro organizations in need.Do you have a favorite hat pattern or tip you’d like to share? Please share in the comments!

Did you know the Central Iowa Knitters have a group on Ravelry? Ravelry is an online community for knitters and other yarn/fiber lovers. Share your projects with other CIK or post questions in the CIK forum to get advice from other members. It’s a great resource for pattern ideas, yarn selections, and general ogling over other people’s knitting handiwork. If you haven’t joined already, sign up for an account – it’s free and painless – and if you are on Ravelry already, join the CIK group and share your projects with us. We’d love to see what you’re working on.
