She had lots of labelled samples and spent enough time on each technique that we all had practice and a good understanding of when and why to use short rows in shaping our knit articles. We learned to not hate wrap and turn and how to work German short rows. No more excuses for not using short rows.<br />

<br />
Shelley L brought in 2 tables full of her spectacular yarn that she felt she needed to move back into the fiber community (destash). She had bagged and labelled it so that you knew exactly what kind and how much was in each skein. If it was for a project you got the yarn needed and the pattern all in one.<br />
<br />
Everyone present had their name put in a bag. Shelley picked a skein, Jackie pulled a name out of the bag and Carol T made sure Jackie didn't get carried away in the excitement and put a name back into the bag by mistake.<br />
<br />
I know of one skein of yarn that was a completed project in less than 48 hours. <br />

There were probably over a dozen yarn samples on needles for us to knit, pass around and comment on. You can see in the photo's below the beautiful yarns Annaliese and Gina brought for us to sample and purchase. They also let us know about upcoming events at their shop. They raffled off a ticket to the Nerd Girls fiber class, a tote bag and a $50.00 gift certificate to the store. Go to <a href="http://www.woolandcottonco.com/"> www.woolandcottonco.com</a> for the details on the upcoming events.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">We came thru again with over 132 baby sweaters and still counting. There are some knitters who couldn't make the meeting and will be bringing their items to the June meeting for delivery to The Christ Child Society. As you can see we had lots of other items that were appreciated by the Ladies of The Christ Child Society. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Every year there are new patterns that you use. They are all so cleverly done! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Our snack table was also a wonder to behold. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Well done on all fronts!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'ArialMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><b>You’ve probably heard of a wine tasting, but what about a yarn tasting? </b> Annalise from Wool and Cotton Co. will be joining us and bringing a variety of yarns for us to try! You will want to bring a
variety of needle sizes so you can sample all the yarny goodness, I suggest you bring at least
sizes 4, 6, 7, and 8 because we don’t know yet what she will be bringing - that’s part of the fun!
Annalise will also have a shop set up just in case you just have to have one (or more!) of the yarns
we try.
</span><br />

I was so overcome at the sight of this really wonderful yarn that I forgot to include the owners of Hidden Valley Farm, Paul J. and Carol Wagner, in a photo. This is going to sound boring but it wasn't. Their program gave us the nitty gritty of running a sheep farm. <b>I</b> loved it. From the feeding dilemma caused by multiple births to one ewe to the talk of predators- the only sheep they have lost was to a neighbors dog, not to the coyotes in the area. The yarn they brought was exceptional and one of our members bought a fleece. Take a trip out to the farm this year.<br />

<br />
They provided 2 different types of bowls. One skein and another with 3 holes for stranded knitters.<br />
<br />
As I look at the photos I don't see anyone with splotches of paint on themselves so it looks like a pretty successful time.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'ArialMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><b>December is our year end fashion show</b> - time to celebrate all of our knitting accomplishments (or
foibles) this year. Feel free to share your “unfinished symphonies” AKA those projects that have
been languishing on the needles for far too long. Sharing your pain may be just what you need to
find what that project needs to be finished! Please fill out an information sheet (attached) for each
item that you plan to show and send it to Shelley Lund (slund@wi.rr.com). I will have forms that
you can fill out the night of the meeting, but it will make things a bit easier for me if you can send
the information ahead of time. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this year!
</span><br />

<br />
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'ArialMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Regardless of your political leanings, I think most of us can say we will be happy to see the end of
all the negative campaigning. Our November meeting falls on election night, so let’s celebrate
that end with some fun and games! We will be playing “Last Knitter Standing” – what’s that you
say? According to the back of the game box: “If you like to knit and play games, Last Knitter
Standing is for you! Through a series of challenges and questions, last knitter standing will not
only make you laugh, learn, and test your knitting knowledge, but will also tap into your
competitive spirit.” To play, you will need to bring yarn and appropriate sized needles – I
recommend worsted or DK weight.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'ArialMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Start thinking about what you want to bring to our December meeting for the year-end fashion
show. I will have sheets at the meeting that you can take home to fill out information about your
project(s). I will also send out a link to an electronic form with the December newsletter. Also, if
you haven’t signed up yet for what snack or supplies you are going to bring – be sure to do that
at the next meeting!

Bring a finished project or something you are working on to share with your fellow members. Did you make some knitting goals for this year? Share your progress with us! Have something that has been languishing - maybe sharing it with the group will help get it jump-started. Let’s see who can unearth the oldest unfinished project! </span><br />

We had three generations of the Bothe women come to our June meeting and share with us the trials and tribulations of starting a small business and the effort it takes to keep it up to speed with customer needs. They proudly make their products in Kenosha, Wisconsin and all of their supplies and third party sale items are Made In The USA. They have customers around the world now. During the 2008-2009 recession no one from the Signature side of the company saw their hours cut. Congratulations to them and to us for keeping their quality high and our budgets in line and so that we could still keep buying their products. <a href="http://www.signatureneedlearts.com/"> http://www.signatureneedlearts.com</a></div>

They brought examples of the design process to show the evolution of an idea into a marketable product. They knew their audience and brought lots of needles and accessories for sale. They have some great, clever and innovative products. </div>

They also ran a raffle for three winners of their products. Here are some of the items they brought along. They had pretty brisk sales so I am sure they didn't have much to carry back home.</div>

<br />
Our May meeting was our Annual Baby Shower. Once again The Christ Child Society received our bounty of hand knit items. We knit beautiful one of a kind items every single year. This year we had 107 baby sweaters, 68 hats, 4 sets of booties, 16 bibs, 3 diaper covers, 16 blankets and 4 pkgs of diapers.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'ArialMT'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Cathryn and Laura Bothe from <b>Signature Needle Arts</b> will be
presenting our June program. If you are not familiar with
Signature Needles, they are custom, hand-crafted knitting
needles made right here in SE Wisconsin! They will talk about
how their company came to be and how they go about making
their needles. A little birdie also told me that they will have
needles to try out as well as some for sale after the meeting. I
once read in Stephanie Pearl McPhee’s blog (AKA the Yarn
Harlot) that a craftsperson is only as good as his/her tools -
she’s right. It’s amazing how your knitting can improve just by
upgrading your needles! </span>Our Mission:http://www.blogger.com/profile/05196090041871296107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2994256226091597369.post-78109922165129262622016-05-10T07:06:00.000-07:002016-05-10T07:06:10.164-07:00May 10 Baby ShowerTonight's the Night!
