Winner of Knitwit's Lizard Ridge afghan!
CONGRATULATIONS Knitwits! Our combined efforts, creativity, and talent made a beautiful afghan that we raffled off for Covenant House. At last count, there was approximately $1350 in proceeds from raffle tickets and donations. A tremendous success. I can’t wait to see what our next project will be.
Raffle winner: Robin Dutton

Lizard Ridge project being prepped for sewing
The Knitwits met today to organise and strategized how to put our afghan together. Lots of collaboration and a sewing lesson. Seven of us took 4 squares to sew together, and will meet again soon to sew the 7 rows together. Next step is to crochet a border. Getting exciting!
Photos: Our squares, #1 pattern, #2 pattern (selected for its wavy look), pinning coordinate labels, and our coordinate list.

Knitwits: Video clips, updated pattern chart, needle request, next meeting
Hello Knitwits,
We had an excellent meeting today in LPC. A lot of one-on-one lessons were given, and I believe the dim lights are beginning to get bright!
We shot the following two clips today to be helpful - Sara is teaching.
Wrap & Turn knit stitch from the purl side:
Picking up your Wraps from the purl side (re-loaded):
Additional clips found on YouTube:
Attached is Sara’s Lizard Ridge chart. Corrections have been made and saved in excel.
If anyone has an extra paid of 5mm needles, Sharon Yee needs a pair.
If anyone needs some easy practice yarn, please let me know.
Next meeting: KR 7 lunchroom 12 noon.
Lizard Ridge pattern has been nicknamed the Booby pattern. Check out the boobies below!
Cheers, Meg

Good morning everyone!
I have set up a group email list to make chatting easier:
knitwits-ubc@interchange.ubc.ca
We had our first meeting yesterday at noon KR 7. Introductions were made and an intro to our project was given by Shawnna. Was great!
Some notes & tips:
- our pattern will be a challenge for beginners but we have until Dec to complete and we have rock-star knitters amongst us to help.
- the yarn we are using is delicate and breaks easily; it was suggested that you start learning the pattern with a different, more study yarn; I have an extra ball of acrylic if anyone would like to use it.
- the pattern listed on Knitty website is missing some key instructions [http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall06/PATTlizardridge.html] but Shawnna is going to email the group the complete instructions (or how to link to them)
- Sara has created a wonderful grid to help you work this pattern and will send it to us
Next meeting: Wed Feb 11th at 12noon in the LPC 2nd floor lunchroom.
If you come through the front doors of LPC, and up the stairs, there’s an elevator to your right. Take it to the 2nd floor, down the hallway on the right, past the washrooms and straight into the lunchroom.
If you get lost your fellow Knitwits work on the 1st floor and will help you out.
Cheers, Megan

Hi All,
Here is some more information from Shawnna about the Lizard Rdige project.
Lot's of inspiring pictures!! It looks as though too much blocking and pressing would flatten the bumpy bits. Might be a good idea to just block around the edges.
Anyway, we've got 7 knitters on board for this project so far. It's going to be so wonderful, and a great fund raising opportunity!!

Hi Sara,
Yeah, I'd happily do a demo for people! I'll try to properly block my square tonight so we can work out just how hard that is. I also found some online help:
This great blog that has links to short-row knitting tutorials as well: http://lizardridgeknitalong.blogspot.com/
Flickr photos that show the progress of the project - and yes they all look totally warped before blocking! :

A great knitting project!!
Hello Library Knitters,
Our knitting for Covenant House was a big success - valuable to Covenant House and fun for us.
Shawnna Parlongo has great idea for a prject that we could all do together. We talked a bit about this during one of the Koerner knit sessions in November. We could all knit squares, stitch them together and have a beautiful afghan that we could raffle off and send the raffle proceeds to a local charity. If everyone on this email knit one or two squares we could probably make two afghans.
Shawnna found a fantastic pattern that uses yarn available at Urban Yarns (and probably other places too). Have a look at the pattern below. Each square requires 1 ball of Noro Kureyon, $9.95 each.

It would be great if we got busy with this project before the Fall. We'd have more time to show it off and sell lots of raffle tickets!!
If you decide to particpate, please choose any of the Noro Kureyon colours. The multi coloured result will be gorgeous!! Shawnna has worked out a couple of difficult bits on the pattern, so please consult her before you start.
Lastly, we could ask the Human Resources Committee for funding from their 'Funding for Community Event's' pot-of-gold!!
Let me know what you think..............Sara.
