March 13 Meeting

We have an update from our Charity Committee about the Preemie Octopuses. 

Froedtert Hospital is requesting the Octopus toys for babies. They are very specific about how the toys are to be made. See the attachments for details. Polyfill works well for stuffing. This link will also take you to the US patterns. https://www.spruttegruppen.dk/recipes

The Knitting Olympic Challenge 2018

1. Each entry must contain the colors red, white and blue.
2. One entry per person
2.5 Challenge yourself. Is there something you haven't done or something you have always wanted to try?
Judging will take place at the March meeting. Please bring your completed masterpieces then. Please attach your name to your work.
Your work will be judged on the following criteria: 
1. Does it contain red, white and blue
2. How does it look (aka cuteness)
3. How well is it done

The top three masterpieces will receive Olympic medals. Each medal will come with a gift certificate to a local yarn store.

Good Luck.

Go USA!


The March Program will also include  Bev Pilarzyk  speaking  on Knitting Shows and Life as a Vendor.  This will be a new topic for us and promises to be interesting!
