July Meeting info

Summer is here!  I don't think it is ever too hot to knit but I do think it can be too humid.

Don't forget to bring size 8 knitting needles and some scrap yarn for Pat G's project.

We will be voting for  Officers for Treasurer and  Secretary.  We will also be needing Chairpersons for Membership, Programs and State Fair.  The positons are for a year.  We are friends with a common and consuming interest in knitting but we do need member participation to run the Guild.  If you are unable to make the meeting but would like one of these positions please let me know so that we can make sure that happens.

See you Tuesday!

June Program Recap!

Master Knitter Jennifer Donze joined us for our June program and talked about how to complete the Master Program Handknitting from The Knitting Guild Association  http://www.tkga.com.  Jennifer is quite passionate about the program and brought some of the projects she knit to complete the program.

Here are some of the projects she brought along:

Knit in Public Day -- June 8th, 2013

June 8th was Knit in Public Day and we had a blast!  Our team of 8 knitters showed the people at the Alterra in Bay View how it is done!  If you weren't able to join us, but staged your own Knit in Public Day, please send us your pictures!  We would love to see them and post them here on the blog?

The May Baby Shower

Our May baby shower was a great success once again!  Everyone had a great time and the baby clothes and blankets were all so cute!

The June program will be Jennifer Donze who will speak on her journey to become a master knitter.

July will also be the Brown Bag exchange and a surprise program.  Watch for the newsletter for details.
