September 2024 General Meeting

She has taught at Vogue Knitting LIVE!, the Edinburgh Yarn Festival, and other important knitting events worldwide.

No lesser an authority than Modern Daily Knitting gave rave reviews to Knitting Outside the Box, calling it a “stunner.” Read the full review here.

Presentation
Bristol asks: “Did you ever wonder how a Pi shawl is constructed?” Bristol will demystify everything we need to know about this beautiful and amazing knitted item—a circular shawl—from construction to notions and best yarn to use—you name it! You will want to take notes. Bristol will bring her books—Knitting Outside the Box and Knitting Outside the Box: Drape & Flow—for sale. She accepts Venmo, PayPal, cash, or check.

Show and Tell
What have you been up to since our last meeting? We can’t wait to see what you created over the summer. As always, only one Show and Tell item per meeting, please. And remember to look for photos from past meetings on our website.

Please bring your offerings to our upcoming general meetings in September and October or drop them off with Auction Chair Carol Rudman’s doorman at 444 East 86th Street, Manhattan.
