Exciting News!

Retreat!!
Kim and Judith are hard at work planning the 2nd annual Spring Retreat. . .the house they're looking at is GORGEOUS and within a 1 1/2 hour drive--MUCH closer than last year. I've got a lead on a teacher that might be willing to join us and give us a dying workshop while we're there. . .exciting stuff is on the way. The committee is looking at early April--so start to save your pennies and clear your calendar!! We'll post links to the house and give you more details when things are finalized!

Ravelry!!
More and more of us are getting our invites! If you haven't joined, sign up for the waiting list here Linda said she was invited in around a month, so the invites are coming fairly quickly now. Believe me, you don't want to be left out of this REALLY COOL community.

Ann Arbor Fiber Fest
We had several last minute cancellations for this trip--but I went on Sunday with Suzanne and Kate. Met some new friends and spent some money! Pictures are coming soon!

Shop Hop
is coming!! Saturday, November 10 doesn't seem like so far away. . .Kim should be posting details here soon, and Camille will probably send us a reminder. . .see you then!

Janurary Meeting and Announcements

New Meeting Location! effective immediately for our Tuesday Jan 8, 2007 Meeting I feel like we've been in a sweat lodge for the last few months meeting at the Community Center. . .in response to all of the hot flashes and personal fans brought to the meetings, we've chosen a new (and cooler)location. Meetings will now be held at: Fifth Third Bank 1833 Coolidge Berkley, MI 48072 The bank is located on Coolidge near 11 mile. . .on the West side of the road. Great, well lit parking, comfy chairs and no jazzercise music playing during the meeting! The meeting agenda will include learning a new cast on and bind off--bring worsted weight yarn in two colors, and needles to match, as well as info about Knit Michigan (see Judith's post below), our upcoming Retreat at Hankered Inn (you may want to bring your checkbook so you can leave a deposit to reserve your space as they are limited). The retreat is planned for the weekend of April 25-27, check your calendars and save the date...

Or maybe, the helmet is to protect themselves from the head bashing you do when you've made a REALLY big mistake and need to frog. . . A skein of sock yarn is waiting for the person with the most witty (in my opinion) caption for this pix. Make a comment and I'll choose the winner next Thursday when I come home from the UP. Thanks to Coralee for the picture! (oh how I wonder what sort of crazy pictures of me she may have stored on her camera. . .)
